Estrogen and progesterone are female-typical steroid hormones secreted primarily by the ovaries. Their actions to modulate reproductive physiology and behavior have long been recognized. However, it is now known that ovarian hormones influence a number of other processes, including affect, cognitive ...
Estrogenand progesterone affectIBS symptomsin a few ways, from how yourintestineswork to how much pain you feel. Cells in your gut have things called receptors that let these hormones latch on to them. This suggests that yourdigestive systemis designed to sense and react to them. Here are th...
This review aims to update our current knowledge of the effects of the sex hormones estradiol and progesterone in the female reproductive tract on innate immunity, antigen presentation, specific immune responses, antibody secretion, genital tract infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, and vaccine-...
The ovary is a fundamental reproductive organ and can be divided into four regions: the surface epithelium, tunica albuginea, cortex, and medulla [97], which is shown on the left of Fig.2a. The follicles are the principal functional units, and made up of oocytes encompassed by granulosa cell...
The ovaries are usually pearl-colored, oblong, and about the size of a walnut. They are attached to the uterus by ligaments. In addition to producing female sex hormones (estrogen and progesterone) and some male sex hormones, the ovaries produce and release eggs. The de...
These hormonal effects can be mimicked in the ovariectomized virgin female by treating the female with hormones (e.g., estrogen and progesterone) normally associated with elevated maternal responsiveness at parturition (see Numan et al., 2006, Bridges, 1984, Novakov and Fleming, 2005, Rosenblatt ...
Of the numerous hormones that regulate body function, two steroid hormones are extremely important: estradiol, a female sex hormone, and testosterone, a male sex hormone. Present in the body in insignificant amounts, they regulate sexual differentiation and reproduction. The two primary classes of ...

Suicide attempts and completion are significantly more frequent at times of low or rapid states of decline in endogenous sex steroids (estrogen and progesterone), such as peri-menopause19, the postpartum period20, and the premenstrual and menstrual phases of the cycle21,22.
