The female hormones estrogen and progesterone rewire the brains of mice to prepare them for motherhood, according to researchers at the UK’s Francis Crick Institute. Their findings, just published in Science under the title “Hormone-mediated neural remodeling orchestrates parenting onset during pregna...
During pregnancy, many women find leukorrhea, or discharge, increases. You can thank your hormones: Your body’s increased levels of estrogen during pregnancy boosts blood flow to your pelvic area and stimulates your mucous membranes. The discharge does have a purpose, though. Harris says that ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that pregnancy hormones "rewire" the brain to prepare mice for motherhood.

and estetrol (E4) also increase progressively during pregnancy (Fig.2), resulting in very high levels at term pregnancy. The seeming contradiction posed by the association of increased P4 and estrogen levels during pregnancy and reduced BC may be explained by the fact that P4 and estrogen levels...
To understand the molecular mechanisms of estrogen-induced uterine cell growth, we removed the estrogen receptor α (Esr1) from mouse uterine stromal cells, where the embryo is implanted during pregnancy. Without ESR1 in neighboring stroma cells, epithelial cells that line the inside of the uterus ...
is admitted to the hospital after sustaining a hip fracture. She is 5 ft. , 4 inches tall and weighs 96 lbs. She has five children and has used estrogen replacement therapies for 10 years. She told the nurse that she just stepped forward and fell. The results of her bone density tests...
Causes of a yeast infection during pregnancy During pregnancy, your body produces more glycogen due to the rising levels of estrogen. Higher levels of glycogen create a good environment for the fungus to multiply abnormally, which leads to a yeast infection. Other factors that may encourage a yea...
