Rapid progesterone actions on thymulin-secreting epithelial cells cultured from rat thymus [PDF]

, 1999
Many soluble factors of neural, endocrine, paracrine and autocrine origin are present in the thymus and modulate its function. Long-term effects of sex steroids have! been documented for thymocytes and cells of the thymic microenvironment. In this report

Steroids, Pregnancy and Fetal Development

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
Maternal glucocorticoids critically rise during pregnancy reaching up to a 20-fold increase of mid-pregnancy concentrations. Concurrently, another steroid hormone, progesterone, increases.

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 ...

Human amniotic fluid glycoproteins expressing sialyl Lewis carbohydrate antigens stimulate progesterone production in human trophoblasts in vitro [PDF]

, 2004
Background: Progesterone is thought to mediate immune modulator effects by regulating uterine responsiveness. The aim of the study was to clarify the effect of transferrin and glycodelin A (former name PP14) as sialyl Lewis X-expressing glycoproteins on ...

Identification of a novel corticotropin-releasing hormone type 1 beta-Like receptor variant lacking exon 13 in human pregnant myometrium regulated by estradiol-17 beta and progesterone [PDF]

, 2010
Two types of CRH receptors mediate the diverse biological functions of CRH and CRH-related peptides. The type 1 CRH-R (CRH-R1) is extensively targeted by pre-mRNA splicing mechanisms that give rise to multiple mRNA splice variants.

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 ...

The androgen and progesterone receptors regulate distinct gene networks and cellular functions in decidualizing endometrium [PDF]

, 2008
Progesterone is indispensable for differentiation of human endometrial stromal cells (HESCs) into decidual cells, a process that critically controls embryo implantation.
