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 ...
Immunohistochemical study of androgen, estrogen and progesterone receptors in salivary gland tumors
(Sociedade Brasileira de Pesquisa Odontológica - SBPqO, 2009)
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, ...
The molecular basis of progesterone receptor action in breast carcinogenesis
(De Gruyter, 2012-04)
Progesterone plays an essential role in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation in the mammary gland. In addition, experimental and clinical evidence points to a critical role of progesterone and the ...
Progesterone acts via the progesterone receptor to induce adamts proteases in ovarian cancer cells
(BioMed Central, 2016)
Abstract
Background
Ovarian carcinomas, usually associated with sex hormones dysregulation, are the leading cause of gynecological neoplastic death. In normal ovaries, ...
Progesterone receptors:animal models and cell signalling in breast cancer. Diverse activation pathways for the progesterone receptor: possible implications for breast biology and cancer
(Biomed Central, 2002-09-12)
Progesterone and estradiol, and their nuclear receptors, play essential roles in the physiology of the reproductive tract, the mammary gland and the nervous system. Estrogens have traditionally been considered associated ...
