Like progesterone, estrogen is a hormone that plays an important role in reproductive health. Estrogen is partly responsible for the development of secondary sex traits such as breasts and hips, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause. Progesterone is available in many forms, including as a cream. Y...
The purpose of this study is to compare PV regulation, PVR and orthostatic tolerance in women under four different hormonal conditions: when estrogen and progesterone are suppressed; when estrogen is elevated; when progesterone is elevated, and when progesterone and estrogen are elevated. The ...

Dive deep into our comprehensive comparison of “HRT vs TRT” to make informed decisions for your health. By focusing on the function of estrogen and progesterone together, you may be able to further decrease mood swings, decrease menopausal symptoms and feel more like yourself. If you have ...
Estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) testing are performed in the evaluation of breast cancer. While the clinical utility of ER as a predictive biomarker to identify patients likely to benefit from hormonal therapy is well-established, the added value of PR is less well-defined...
Progesterone ;Hormonal contraceptives;Libido;Menstrual cycle;Steroid hormones Definition Progesterone is a steroid hormone that has important roles in mammalian reproductive physiology and behavior. Its prototypical function is the promotion of secretions in the endometrium (the membrane lining the uterus) ...
Estrogen-binding receptors have been identified on vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs), indicating that vascular function may be under direct hormonal control. Vascular remodeling modified by matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and chemotactic cytokines, due to their ability to degrade components of the ...
