“Ovarian steroids, estrogen and progesterone , influence the sensitivity of certain neural processes to cannabinoid treatment by modulation of brain dopaminergic activity.”
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America • 2001 | View Paper
“Abstract Various cannabinoids inhibited both basal and FSH-stimulated progesterone synthesis by pig and rat granulosa cells in vitro in a dose- (0.09 – 16 μM) and time- (4 – 24 h) dependent manner.”
“ Progesterone production by isolated rat luteal cells was inhibited by exposure to various cannabinoids in concentrations from 3.0--16.0 microM. The available evidence points to the cleavage of cholesterol esters as the site of inhibition.”
