Background: Hormonal changes as a factor influencing the emotional state of women have an important role in the incidence of suicide. The aim of this study is to investigate changes in FSH-LH, Estrogen, and Progesterone hormones in women attempting suicide by drugs and chemicals. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, women of reproductive diagnosed with drug and chemical poisoning who were ...

Objective. Some effects of progesterone on glioma cells can be explained through the slow, genomic mediated response via nuclear receptors; the other effects suggest potential role of a fast, nongenomic action mediated by membrane-associated progesterone receptors. Methods. The effects of progesterone treatment on the expression levels of progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1), pla...

Progesterone is a steroid hormone that is important for reproductive function. Progesterone is used in a number of clinical applications and has been investigated as a possible novel approach for treatment of stimulant drug abuse. Extensive clinical studies have been conducted to examine the subjective and physiological effects of exogenous progesterone administration and to evaluate its side e...

381 In their study, Ho et al1 report that using vaginal progesterone gel twice daily for luteal support resulted in better pregnancy outcomes than intramuscular progesterone. Vaginal progesterone gel seemed to offer more “targeted” delivery of progesterone to the uterus and improved endometrial receptivity. The authors also concluded that for patients with serum estradiol levels on the day of h...

Progesterone therapy is an effective treatment for atypical endometrial hyperplasia and early endometrial carcinoma (EC). However, progesterone resistance is the main obstacle to the success of conservative treatment in women with type I EC and remains a major clinical challenge. Studies indicate that progesterone and progesterone receptors (PRs) play a significant role in both normal and neopl...

Ectopic pregnancy (EP) and miscarriage are important differential diagnosis of first trimester vaginal bleeding. In first trimester, serum progesterone value can be 5-20 ng/ml in EP and miscarriage. Since delay in diagnosis of EP could have high mortality and morbidity, the aim of this study was comparison of serum progesterone value in EP and miscarriage in order to differentiate these conditi...

The clinical response of advanced endometrial adenocarcinoma to progestin therapy does not correlate perfectly with biochemically assayed progesterone receptor status of the tumor. We have previously suggested that heterogeneity of progesterone receptor at the cellular, tumor, and tissue levels, not detectable by the biochemical assay, might contribute to this discrepancy. A monoclonal antibody...

Progesterone, total oestrogens (mainly conjugated and unconjugated oestrone), prolactin and placental lactogen have been determined during late pregnancy in the peripheral plasma of intact or hypophysectomized ewes after destruction of the foetal pituitary. During the prolongation of gestation due to the removal of the foetal hypophysis, progesterone and placental lactogen remained at a high le...

Objective: The aim of the presented study is to investigate the impact of progesterone change in the late follicular phase on the pregnancy rates of both agonist and antagonist protocols in normoresponders. Study design: A total of 201 normoresponder patients, who underwent embryo transfer were consecutively selected. 118 patients were stimulated using a long luteal GnRH agonist protocol and 83...

Background & Aim: Electromagnetic waves can damage sex organs and cause hormonal disorders, whereas garlic is known as reducing risk factors for various diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the probable effects of mobile phone radiation and consumption of garlic on estrogen and progesterone levels and ovarian changes. Experimental: Five groups of rats (n = 8) were used which grou...
