Progesterone receptor expression declines in the guinea pig uterus during functional progesterone withdrawal and in response to prostaglandins. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Progesterone withdrawal is essential for parturition, but the mechanism of this pivotal hormonal change is unclear in women and other mammals that give birth without a pre-labor drop in maternal progesterone levels.

Loss of progesterone receptor-mediated actions induce preterm cellular and structural remodeling of the cervix and premature birth. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 A decline in serum progesterone or antagonism of progesterone receptor function results in preterm labor and birth. Whether characteristics of premature remodeling of the cervix after antiprogestins or ovariectomy are similar to that at term was the ...

Intestinal tumorigenesis is not affected by progesterone signaling in rodent models. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Clinical data suggest that progestins have chemopreventive properties in the development of colorectal cancer. We set out to examine a potential protective effect of progestins and progesterone signaling on colon cancer development.
