The antitumor agent cisplatin and progesterone separate joint action on content of total phospholipids their individual fractions in nuclei from rat thymus cells were investigated. When used separately, exhibit its own distinctive properties. Cisplatin reduces, progesterone, the contrary, increases phospholipids. together, effects these drugs are summed up. Thus phospholipid cell by 17% after i...

the aim of this study was to evaluate changes that occur in motility parameters of progesterone treated mouse spermatozoa during course of hyperactivation. mouse spermatozoa treated with different doses of progesterone were videotaped after 10 min and 90 min of incubation. for each sperm, one second of movement of the head-midpiece junction was traced from the videotape and for each tracing sev...

Introduction: Ghrelin increases growth hormone secretion and food intake. Growth hormone (GH), steroid hormones and opioids are involved in the regulation of food intake. So, they may have a role in the regulation of ghrelin secretion. We determined the effect of intravenous injections of progesterone, GH and morphine or co-administration of these hormones on ghrelin concentration and body w...

the sex hormone progesterone has been shown to improve outcomes in animal models and two early-phase trials involving patients with traumatic brain injury (tbi). the aim of this clinical study was to assess the effect of progesterone on the improvement of neurologic outcome in patients with diffuse and acute tbi. a prospective, randomized, double-blind trial of progesterone was conducted in our...

Background: Progesterone as a sex steroid hormone is thought to affect and prevent demyelination, but its role in promoting myelin repair is far less investigated. In this study, remyelinating potential of progesterone in corpus callosum was evaluated on an experimental model of MS.Methods: In this experimental study, adult male C57BL/6 mice were fed with 0.2% (w/w) cuprizone in ground breeder ...

background: premature luteinization during in vitro fertilization was commonly happened before the introduction of gnrh analogues. high level of unwanted progesterone is associated with adverse pregnancy outcome and is thought to be induced by inappropriate lh elevation.objective: to evaluate the progesterone level on the day of human chorionic gonadotropin (hcg) triggering in gnrh agonist and ...
