Progesterone exerts most of its actions through its specific receptors. However, synthetic progestins and progesterone itself may bind with other steroid receptors, thus producing a variety of effects. For instance, some nonsteroid derivatives produce virilizing effects by acting on testosterone receptors.

Progestins are a group of different compounds sharing the ability to induce secretory changes on a endometrium pretreated with estrogen, while they are different in some abilities, for example the interaction with receptors other than progestin receptor, as androgenic or mineralocorticoid receptor. Some progestins have antiandrogenic properties and are

Progesterone (4-pregnene-3,20-dione, P4) is an â–¶ovarian steroid hormone that plays a key role in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation in the female reproductive tract. Interestingly, progesterone also regulates diverse biological effects in a broad range of tissues, even of the cardiovascular and the central nervous systems, and ...
