PROG Rapid Quantitative Test (Chemiluminescence Immunoassay)

Application

Progesterone, a vital steroid hormone, plays a crucial role in the complex regulation of normal female reproductive function. Broadly speaking, the major physiological roles of progesterone in mammals are:

In the uterus and ovary:

Facilitating the release of mature oocytes

Promoting implantation of the fertilized egg

Maintaining pregnancy by stimulating uterine growth and suppressing myometrial (uterine muscle) contractility

In the mammary gland:

Stimulating lobular-alveolar development in preparation for milk secretion

Suppressing milk protein synthesis before parturition (childbirth)

In the brain:

Mediating signals required for sexually responsive behavior

Importantly, recent evidence also suggests that progesterone plays a role in the modulation of bone mass.

This steroid hormone is a critical component in the proper functioning of the female reproductive system, including the regulation of ovulation, implantation, pregnancy maintenance, and mammary gland development. Additionally, progesterone's actions in the brain contribute to the coordination of reproductive behaviors. The expanding knowledge of progesterone's diverse physiological roles highlights its importance in female reproductive health and physiology.
