Human amniotic fluid glycoproteins expressing sialyl Lewis carbohydrate antigens stimulate progesterone production in human trophoblasts in vitro [PDF]

, 2004
Background: Progesterone is thought to mediate immune modulator effects by regulating uterine responsiveness. The aim of the study was to clarify the effect of transferrin and glycodelin A (former name PP14) as sialyl Lewis X-expressing glycoproteins on ...

Transdermal Delivery of Bioidentical Progesterone with a Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitor (Dutasteride): a Pilot Study

Journal of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2011
Purpose: Bioavailability of transdermal progesterone is low and variable. This may be attributed to transdermal metabolism by the 5α-reductase enzymes or the direct transport to the saliva. The objective of the current study was to evaluate the effect of

Progesterone Increases Bifidobacterium Relative Abundance during Late Pregnancy.

Cell Reports, 2019
Gestation is accompanied by alterations in the microbial repertoire; however, the mechanisms driving these changes are unknown. Here, we demonstrate a dramatic shift in the gut microbial composition of women and mice during late pregnancy, including an ...

Steroid hormone bioavailability is controlled by the lymphatic system

Scientific Reports, 2021
The steroid hormone progesterone accounts for immune tolerance in pregnancy. Enhanced progesterone metabolism to 6α-OH-pregnanolone occurs in complicated pregnancies such as in preeclampsia with preterm delivery or intrauterine growth restriction, and in

Peripheral and central mechanisms involved in hormonal control of male and female reproduction [PDF]

, 2016
Reproduction involves the integration of hormonal signals acting across multiple systems togenerate a synchronized physiological output. A critical component of reproduction is the luteinizinghormone (LH) surge, which is mediated by estradiol (E2) and ...

Neuroactive steroids in depression and anxiety disorders: Clinical studies [PDF]

, 2006
Certain neuroactive steroids modulate ligand-gated ion channels via non-genomic mechanisms. Especially 3 alpha-reduced pregnane steroids are potent positive allosteric modulators of the gamma-aminobutyric acid type A (GABA(A)) receptor.
