This article is part of a Special Issue" Hormones & Neurotrauma". Numerous studies aimed
at identifying the role of estrogen on the brain have used the ovariectomized rodent as the …

Membrane progesterone receptors (mPRs) are novel G protein-coupled receptors belonging
to the progestin and adipoQ receptor family (PAQR) that mediate a variety of rapid cell …

Progesterone is essential for pregnancy maintenance and menstrual cycle regulation.
Hormone action has been primarily ascribed to the well-characterized classical signaling …

The recent discovery of a novel, membrane localized progestin receptor (mPR) unrelated to
the classical progesterone receptor (PR) in fishes and its subsequent identification in …

In addition to the classic genomic mechanism of steroid action mediated by activation of
intracellular nuclear receptors, there is now extensive evidence that steroids also activate …

Progesterone has been shown to exert pleiotropic actions in the brain of both male and
females. In particular, after traumatic brain injury (TBI), progesterone has important …

Introduction: The progesterone receptor plays an essential role in uterine physiology and
reproduction. Selective progesterone receptor modulators (SPRMs) have emerged as a …

The neuroactive steroids 17β-estradiol and progesterone control a broad spectrum of neural
functions. Besides their roles in the regulation of classical neuroendocrine loops, they …

Steroid hormone, progesterone, modulates neuroendocrine functions in the central nervous
system resulting in alterations in physiology and behavior. These neuronal effects are …

Although several studies have reported the localization of membrane progesterone (P4)
receptors (mPR) in various tissues, few have attempted to describe the distribution and …
