It works in synergy with estrogen to jointly regulate the menstrual cycle of women. After ovulation, the luteal cells of the ovary secrete progesterone to transform the endometrium from a proliferative phase to a secretory phase to prepare for implantation and development of the fertilized egg. Main...
Progesterone is essential for pregnancy maintenance and menstrual cycle regulation. Hormone action has been primarily ascribed to the well-characterized classical signaling pathway involving ligand binding, activation of nuclear progesterone receptors (PRs), and subsequent activation of genes containing progester...

Throughout women'sreproductive lives, progesteronelevels remain fairly stable, guiding the flow of the menstrual cycle along with estrogen. During this time, the chief producers of progesterone are the adrenal glands during the follicular phase and the ovarian corpus luteum - the remnant of the foll...

Progesterone is produced in ovaries, adrenal gland and in placenta when women get pregnant. In the menstrual cycle, ovary unceasingly alternates between two phases: the follicular phase, which is characterized by the presence of maturing follicles and the luteal phase, which is governed by the ...
Progesterone(Fig. 20.17) is the most important member of the class of steroid hormones known as progestogens. Sinceprogesterone'sprimary functions involve the femalemenstrual cycle, pregnancy, andembryogenesis, it is often referred to as the “hormone of pregnancy”. Progesterone is also a cholestero...
