The ameliorative effect of chrysin on ovarian toxicity caused by methidathion in female rats. (PubMed, Front Mol Biosci)
Results and Our research revealed that MD significantly (p < 0.001) increased the levels of MDA, caspase-3, FSH, LH, CA-125, and TNF-α but significantly (p < 0.001) decreased the levels of SOD, GSH, E2, and progesterone when compared to the control and CHR groups. After receiving CHR therapy, damage induced by MD was significantly (p < 0.001) repaired. This study showed that CHR could mitigate the adverse effects that MD causes to the ovaries by decreasing oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis; improving antioxidant status; and restoring the correct ratio of sex hormones.

Meta-analysis and network pharmacology studies of the clinical efficacy of Guizhi Fuling capsules/pills combined with dienogest in treating endometriosis. (PubMed, Medicine (Baltimore))
In conclusion, GZFL combination treatment could increase the clinical effectiveness rate of EMs patients, and reduce the serum level of carbohydrate antigen 125, estradiol, matrix metalloproteinases, pain scores, and the diameter of the ectopic cyst. The potential mechanism might be linked to the modulation of hormone receptors and inflammation.

Androgen Receptor Influenced Recurrence Score Correlation in Hormone Positive and HER2 Negative Breast Cancer Indian Patients: A Comparative Approach. (PubMed, Genome Integr)
These tools take into consideration the histopathologic parameters and immunohistochemistry (IHC) biomarkers data for estrogen receptor/progesterone (ER/PR), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and Ki67...No significance was noted across different prediction tools. The findings are suggestive that ME predictive scores are more relevant and informative compared to other online tools and with an additional AR IHC expression analysis the recurrence prediction might prove to be beneficial and feasible to many deprived BC patients.

It also provides insights into promising therapeutic approaches for similar cases with an unusual presentation.

Deciphering the prognostic landscape of triple-negative breast cancer: A focus on immune-related hub genes and therapeutic implications. (PubMed, Biotechnol Appl Biochem)
Subsequently, gene ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analyses revealed that the hub genes were primarily involved in the progesterone-mediated oocyte maturation signaling pathway and oocyte meiosis...Finally, we explored potential drug candidates for the hub genes using Drug-Gene Interaction Database and discovered that there are no FDA-approved drugs for CCNB1 and CDCA8, highlighting a promising area for future research. Taken together, our results will be of immense importance in addressing the intricacies of TNBC.

Luteal fibroblasts produce prostaglandins in response to IL1β in a MAPK-mediated manner. (PubMed, Mol Cell Endocrinol)
The corpus luteum is a temporary endocrine gland that is crucial for pregnancy, as it produces the progesterone needed to maintain optimal uterine conditions for uterine implantation...Therefore, actions of IL1β differ based on ovarian cell type. All together, we have identified luteal fibroblasts as potential inflammatory mediators during luteal regression.

Estrogens and breast cancer. (PubMed, Ann Oncol)
Yet emerging clinical and experimental evidence points to progestogens (endogenous progesterone or synthetic progesterone [progestin]) as the primary hormonal driver underlying seemingly estrogen-associated breast cancer risk...Estrogen HRT has shown an array of proven benefits, including ameliorating menopausal symptoms and improving bone health. Collective evidence thus suggests that estrogen HRT is likely to offer health benefits to perimenopausal or postmenopausal women, including breast cancer survivors, as well as young BRCA1/2 carriers with prophylactic oophorectomy for ovarian cancer prevention.

Deer Blood Hydrolysate Protects against D-Galactose-Induced Premature Ovarian Failure in Mice by Inhibiting Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis. (PubMed, Nutrients)

Myo-Inositol and D-Chiro-Inositol Reduce DHT-Stimulated Changes in the Steroidogenic Activity of Adult Granulosa Cell Tumors. (PubMed, Int J Mol Sci)
For this purpose, we analyzed the mRNA expression of steroidogenic genes and the secretion of progesterone (P4) and 17β-estradiol (E2) in an unstimulated and/or dihydrotestosterone (DHT)-stimulated environment under MI and DCI influence...These findings suggest that CYP11A1 is responsible for the antiestrogenic effect of DCI in the androgen-rich environment of AGCTs. Therefore, MI and DCI could be used as effective agents in the adjuvant treatment of AGCT, but further detailed studies are needed.

A positive ReceptivaDx result for BCL6 does not correlate with abnormal ERA results or decreased expression of receptivity-associated markers: two sides of the endometrial receptivity coin in fertility evaluation and treatment. (PubMed, F S Sci)
A positive ReceptivaDx BCL6 result does not correlate with a pre-receptive ERA. Epithelial cells from BCL6-positive endometrium did not show significantly decreased expression in most of the receptivity markers evaluated. These findings demonstrate discordance between the interpretation of "endometrial receptivity" by ReceptivaDx and ERA, and highlight the need for further validation of endometrial evaluation methods in fertility treatment.

The Possible Role of Progesterone Receptors in Prostate Cancer Incidences in the Iraqi Population. (PubMed, Front Biosci (Schol Ed))
Many factors may play a role in PCa manifestation, with steroids and progesterone initially noted as factors. Many studies have dealt with the hormonal effect on PCa; however, few have ultimately determined the molecular impact on disease progression. The presence of pathogenic SNPs in the enhancing region of the gene may impact the expression level of PGR. High or low expression levels may negatively affect gene function, which can be considered a reliable factor in prostate tumorigenesis.
