What is progesterone?

Answer 1

It thickens the endomatrium.It maintains the preganancy.It inhibits emmitting of ova.

Answer 2

Progesterone is a hormone produced by the ovaries, along with oestrogen. These hormones help to regulate several functions of your body; progesterone in particular is essential for fertility and ensuring a healthy pregnancy. The hormone also helps to regulate monthly menstrual cycles if you're not pregnant.

Perhaps most importantly it helps to protect the brain and is evident in the thymus gland which is important to maintain a healthy immune system. Progesterone also helps to prevent against women suffering from osteoporosis.!

Answer 3

It's a steroid hormone.

Progesterone is a female sex hormone produced by the yellow body of the ovary. By nature is a progestin or gestagen. In the female body is necessary, mainly to maintain pregnancy and regulate the menstrual cycle. In men, progesterone is also produced in small amounts by the adrenal cortex and testicular tissue, it performs a number of important functions in the body. First of all, progesterone is the precursor of other hormones. It synthesizes testosterone, cortisol, neurosteroids and other important hormones, takes part in the work of the central nervous system.

Answer 4

firstly it is progesterone.

1. A steroid hormone, C21H30O2, secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary and by the placenta, that acts to prepare the uterus for implantation of the fertilized ovum, to maintain pregnancy, and to promote development of the mammary glands.
2. A drug prepared from natural or synthetic progesterone, used in the prevention of miscarriage, in the treatment of menstrual disorders, and as a constituent of some oral contraceptives.

Answer 5

Progesteron is the natural substance when it is produced by the corpus luteum. It is metabolised in the liver and excreted in the urine as Sodium Pregnanediol Glycuronide. its simply called as Progesteron hormone (steroid).

Answer 6

Assuming you mean -progesterone- it is a hormone created in the female body. It is important for a number of processes regarding pregnancy. Firstly, progesterone is created in four places. The follicle, the adrenal gland, the corpus luteum and the placenta. Progesterone created in the ovaries is used mostly to maintain the endometrium. A important fact to keep clear is that the follicle and corpus luteum are similar. A follicle is what the ovum (Egg) is created in. Cells that line the follicle release progesterone in order to 'start' the creation of the endometrium (which is used during pregnancy). It also does some other important things. Firstly, its stops another follicle maturing. This means only one egg matures at a time. It's second function is the Inhibition of uterine contractions. During the final weeks of pregnancy the placenta will stop releasing progesterone which allows uterine contractions to progress. The main function, however, is to keep the endometrium stable. When ovulation occurs the follicle bursts, turning into a corpus luteum, releasing the egg. At this time the corpus luteum is the only producer of progesterone. If fertilization does not occur then the corpus luteum will degenerate and the endometrium will 'shed' this is known as menstruation. If fertilization occurs then the fertilized egg will secreted HCG causing the corpus luteum to continue secreting progesterone which keeps the endometrium health and able to provide nourishment for the growing baby. Keep in mind that estrogen is also present and affects different things as well.

Answer 7

The main function of the progesterone is to stimulate the growth of a cushion lining in the uterus and it helps the breast to produce or make milk.
