Novel progesterone receptors: neural localization and possible functions

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
Progesterone (P4) regulates a wide range of neural functions and likely acts through multiple receptors. Over the past 30 years, most studies investigating neural effects of P4 focused on genomic and non-genomic actions of the classical progestin ...

Progesterone in the Brain: Hormone, Neurosteroid and Neuroprotectant

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020
Progesterone has a broad spectrum of actions in the brain. Among these, the neuroprotective effects are well documented. Progesterone neural effects are mediated by multiple signaling pathways involving binding to specific receptors (intracellular ...

Membrane Progesterone Receptors (mPRs): Evidence for Neuroprotective, Neurosteroid Signaling and Neuroendocrine Functions in Neuronal Cells

Neuroendocrinology, 2012
Membrane progesterone receptors (mPRs) are novel G protein-coupled receptors belonging to the progestin and adipoQ receptor family (PAQR) that mediate a variety of rapid cell surface-initiated progesterone actions in the reproductive system involving ...

Characterization and ligand identification of a membrane progesterone receptor in fungi: existence of a novel PAQR in Sporothrix schenckii

BMC Microbiology, 2012
Background Adaptive responses in fungi result from the interaction of membrane receptors and extracellular ligands. Many different classes of receptors have been described in eukaryotic cells. Recently a new family of receptors classified as belonging to

Progesterone receptor ligands for the treatment of endometriosis: the mechanisms behind therapeutic success and failure

Human Reproduction Update, 2020
BACKGROUND Despite intense research, it remains intriguing why hormonal therapies in general and progestins in particular sometimes fail in endometriosis.

Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors in the Endometrium

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1997
The endometrium, as a target of estrogens and progestins, possesses the respective receptor proteins. These receptors belong to the superfamily of nuclear receptors, having important functional domains required for steroid ligand binding, for dimer formation, for interaction with HREs of DNA, for transcription modulation, for association with other ...

Non-genomic mechanisms of progesterone action in the brain

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
Progesterone is a gonadal steroid hormone whose physiological effects extend well beyond the strict confines of reproductive function. In fact, progesterone can have important effects on a variety of tissues, including the bone, the heart and the brain ...

Immunohistochemical studies of the uterine wall in bitches with different states of the reproductive system [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Dysfunctions of the reproductive system in bitches are a severe problem. Studies were conducted to understand the main differences in the receptor activity of immunocompetent cells in the different conditions of the reproductive system to determine the ...
