Genomic sequence analyses of classical and non-classical lamprey progesterone receptor genes and the inference of homologous gene evolution in metazoans

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2019
Background Nuclear progesterone receptor (nPR) is an evolutionary innovation in vertebrates that mediates genomic responses to progesterone. Vertebrates also respond to progesterone via membrane progesterone receptors (mPRs) or membrane associated ...

Effect of Bengkoang (Pachyrhizus erosus) Extract on Estrogen Receptor-?, Progesterone Receptor Expression, and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Levels

Indonesian Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology
Objective: Progesterone functions by inhibiting the release of Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH), which decreases Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) levels and converts them into hypoestrogens.

Hypothalamic effects of progesterone on regulation of the pulsatile and surge release of luteinising hormone in female rats

Scientific Reports, 2017
Progesterone can block the oestradiol-induced GnRH/LH surge and inhibit LH pulse frequency. Recent studies reported that progesterone prevented premature LH surges during ovarian hyperstimulation in women. As the most potent stimulator of GnRH/LH release,
