The following information is about Progesterone.
Progesterone Defined
An important ovarian hormone produced by the ovaries following ovulation during the menstrual cycle. Progesterone rises 1400 percent over a week from the midcycle to its peak during the luteal phase. It acts on specific receptors in every tissue in the body in which estrogen acts. Its primary job is to cause differentiation (maturation) and to stop the proliferation (growth) caused by estrogen. Progesterone causes the endometrium to become secretory and able to accept and nurture a fertilized egg. If fertilization does not occur estrogen and progesterone levels decrease and a period results.
This definition is in context to Female Health. See more contextual defintions for Progesterone.
