Route of administration of exogenous progesterone for luteal support does not significantly affect the serum concentration in assisted reproductive technology [PDF]
The objective of this research is to study the guiding role of serum progesterone level on exogenous luteal support protocols. In the retrospective study, a total of 537 infertile women undergoing IVF/ICSI were recruited.

Serum Progesterone Levels with The Use of Four Different Types of Vaginal Progesterone in Frozen-Thawed Embryo Transfer Cycles and Related Pregnancy Outcomes [PDF]
Background: Luteal phase support (LPS) is essential for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for frozen-thawedembryo transfer (FET). However, the optimal dose and serum progesterone (P4) levels required for pregnancy arecontroversial.

Trial protocol OPPTIMUM : does progesterone prophylaxis for the prevention of preterm labour improve outcome? [PDF]
Background Preterm birth is a global problem, with a prevalence of 8 to 12% depending on location. Several large trials and systematic reviews have shown progestogens to be effective in preventing or delaying preterm birth in selected high risk women ...

Variation of bowhead whale progesterone concentrations across demographic groups and sample matrices
Bowhead whale Balaena mysticetus progesterone concentrations were measured in different sample matrices (serum, blubber, and urine) to investigate (1) concordance among sample type and (2) variation among life-history class.

Endocrine changes associated with overripening of ovulated eggs in goldfish, Carassius auratus L. [PDF]
Changes in steroid hormone levels in the serum and ovarian fluid were studied during overripening in goldfish. Ovulated eggs retained in the ovarian cavity become overripe at around 12 h after ovulation and completely overripe 24 h after.
