Progesterone and allopregnanolone in the central nervous system: response to injury and implication for neuroprotection
(Elsevier, 2015-02)
Progesterone is a well-known steroid hormone, synthesized by ovaries and placenta in females, and by adrenal glands in both males and females. Several tissues are targets of progesterone and the nervous system is a major ...
Progesterone restores the female prostate activity in ovariectomized gerbil and may act as competitor of testosterone in intraprostatic environment
(2013-05-30)
Aims Little is known about the effect of progesterone on gerbil female prostate. It is known that normal oscillation in the progesterone and estradiol levels during the estrous cycle phases influence the morphophysiology ...

Progesterone effects on the oligodendrocyte linage: all roads lead to the progesterone receptor
(Shenyang Editorial Dept Neural Regeneration Res, 2019-12)
A new role has emerged for progesterone after discovering its potent actions away from reproduction in both the central and the peripheral nervous system. The aim of the present report is to discuss progesterone’s mechanisms ...
Molecular mechanisms underlying progesterone receptor action in breast cancer: Insights into cell proliferation and stem cell regulation
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2019-12)
The ovarian steroid hormone progesterone and its nuclear receptor, the Progesterone Receptor (PR), play an essential role in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation in the mammary gland. In addition, ...
Immunohistochemical study of androgen, estrogen and progesterone receptors in salivary gland tumors
(Sociedade Brasileira de Pesquisa Odontológica - SBPqO, 2009)
Targeting progesterone receptors in breast cancer
(Elsevier Academic Press Inc, 2013)
Hormone receptors represent the earliest biomarkers used in breast cancer not only as prognosis markers but, in addition, to decide treatment. However, mostly estrogen receptors have been used as therapeutic targets. There ...
Melatonin and ethanol intake exert opposite effects on circulating estradiol and progesterone and differentially regulate sex steroid receptors in the ovaries, oviducts, and uteri of adult rats
(2013-08-01)
Chronic ethanol intake is associated with sex hormone disturbances, and it is well known that melatonin plays a key role in regulating several reproductive processes. We report the effects of ethanol intake and melatonin ...

Revisting the roles of progesterone and allopregnanolone in the nervous system: resurgence of the progesterone receptors
(Elsevier, 2014-02-28)
Progesterone is commonly considered as a female reproductive hormone and is well-known for its role in pregnancy. It is less well appreciated that progesterone and its metabolite allopregnanolone are also male hormones, ...
