The progestin receptor interactome in the female mouse hypothalamus: Interactions with synaptic proteins are isoform specific and ligand dependent [PDF]
, 2017 Progestins bind to the progestin receptor (PR) isoforms, PR-A and PR-B, in brain to influence development, female reproduction, anxiety, and stress. Hormone-activated PRs associate with multiple proteins to form functional complexes. In the present study,

Estrous behavior in dairy cows: identification of underlying mechanisms and gene functions [PDF]
, 2010 Selection in dairy cattle for a higher milk yield has coincided with declined fertility. One of the factors is reduced expression of estrous behavior. Changes in systems that regulate the estrous behavior could be manifested by altered gene expression ...

Estrogen and Progesterone Receptors in Human Colorectal Tumour Cells (Study of 70 Cases)
The International Journal of Biological Markers, 1988 Estrogen and progesterone receptors were studied in 70 cases of human colorectal cancer by a cytochemical technique. 28.5% of the cases were estrogen-receptor positive and 42.8% progesterone-receptor positive.

Rodent Models of Non-classical Progesterone Action Regulating Ovulation
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2017 It is becoming clear that steroid hormones act not only by binding to nuclear receptors that associate with specific response elements in the nucleus but also by binding to receptors on the cell membrane. In this newly discovered manner, steroid hormones

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

Membrane Progesterone Receptors (mPRs/PAQRs) Are Going beyond Its Initial Definitions
Membranes, 2023 Progesterone (PRG) is a key cyclical reproductive hormone that has a significant impact on female organs in vertebrates. It is mainly produced by the corpus luteum of the ovaries, but can also be generated from other sources such as the adrenal cortex ...

Temporal changes in the expression of the translocator protein TSPO and the steroidogenic enzyme 5a-reductase in the dorsal spinal cord of animals with neuropathic pain: effects of progesterone administration [PDF]
, 2016 Neuropathic pain is a frequent complication of spinal cord injury (SCI), still refractory to conventional treatment. The presence and biological activity of steroidogenic regulatory proteins and enzymes in the spinal cord suggests that neurosteroids ...

Progestins Related to Progesterone and Testosterone Elicit Divergent Human Endometrial Transcriptomes and Biofunctions. [PDF]
, 2020 Progestins are widely used for the treatment of gynecologic disorders and alone, or combined with an estrogen, are used as contraceptives. While their potencies, efficacies and side effects vary due to differences in structures, doses and routes of ...
