Progesterone skin test in severe attacks of angioedema during menstrual cycle.

Progesterone hypersensitivity (PH) is a rare clinical condition that displays hypersensitivity to endogenous or exogenous progesterone. It is characterized by cyclic dermatologic manifestations at the end of the luteal phase that disappear some days after menses. We present a case of 24-year-old woman showing severe angioedema attacks occurring from the first day of her menstruation and continu...

Relationship between aldosterone and progesterone in the human menstrual cycle.

CONTEXT Aldosterone levels increase during the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle. Prior studies examining relationships between aldosterone and female sex hormones did not control for sodium balance, a major determinant of aldosterone production. OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were 1) to compare aldosterone levels between menstrual phases among cycling women in high- and low-sodium...

Plasma levels of estradiol and progesterone during normal menstrual cycle in langur monkey (Presbytis entellus entellus)

Physiological Effects of Estradiol and Progesterone Menstrual and Endometrial Cycle

The female reproductive system consists of two ovaries, two fallopian tubes, the uterus, cervix and external genitalia. Every female undergoes a monthly cycle of 28 days, in which an egg is released from either ovary and the lining of the uterus is prepared for the implantation of an embryo, which eventually sheds off in case fertilization does not occur. This normal physiological mechanism is ...

Cyclical secretion of prorenin during the menstrual cycle: synchronization with luteinizing hormone and progesterone.

Plasma prorenin, a high molecular weight precursor form of renin, (renin, EC 3.4.23.15; old number, EC 3.4.99.19), was measured three times weekly in normal young women during the menstrual cycle and was related to changes in luteinizing hormone, estradiol, and progesterone. In all subjects a stable baseline level of prorenin occurred during the follicular phase. Then, simultaneously or soon af...
