In females, progesterone is associated with reproductive functions. In males, its role and the expression of its genomic receptor are not very well understood. In attempts to achieve a hormonal male contraceptive method, gestagens are used to downregulate gonadotropin and sperm production. It is th...
Furthermore, new results obtained by using intra-cisternal injection of specific siRNA targeting mPR alpha, mPR beta (two mPR with high brain expression) or nPR suggest that mPR beta regulates the stability of the breathing pattern in males, while effects of nPR appear in females. While several...

The changes in 17β-estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone levels as a function of menstrual cycle phase were analyzed (separately) using one-way repeated-measures ANOVAs. Correlational analyses (Pearson's r) examined the relationships between (a) hormonal levels and PPI and PPF, separately at...
Progesterone has been reported to be associated with anti-inflammatory, anti-vasoconstriction, and neuroprotective functions [45,46]. Thus, this sex hormone may have widespread function in numerous parts of the body but here we have focused on the TVS and putative relation to primary headaches. It...
Theprogesterone receptors(PR), PR-A and PR-B, which are both transcribed from a single gene,are not only highly expressed in brain areas associated with reproduction, but also in areas of importance for cognitive function and emotional processing,2as derived from animal research (Brinton et al...
(Fig.1). When ovulation does not occur in anovulatory cycles, the corpus luteum is not formed and no P4 is synthesized. The primary function of P4, together with E2, is to prepare the endometrium for embryo implantation and support a pregnancy thereafter until term. In addition, during the...
Progesterone is an endogenous steroid that has a variety of important function in the body. It is also a crucial metabolic intermediate in the production of other endogenous steroids and plays an important role in brain function as a neurosteroid [78]. The presence of sources and receptors of ...
🌱 Enhances Skin Barrier Function... Nicotinamide helps build keratin, a protein essential for maintaining skin health. It strengthens the skin's lipid barrier, which locks in moisture and protects against environmental irritants, making it beneficial for all skin types, particularly those with cond...
