“Depending on the cell and tissue, the hormonal environment, growth conditions and the developmental stage, progesterone can either stimulate cell growth or inhibit it while promoting differentiation.”
“ Progesterone inhibits cell proliferation, stimulates differentiation of endometrial cells, and is also important for maintenance of pregnancy, while 5alpha-THP allosterically modulates the activity of the gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor.”

“In summary, there is converging evidence from studies in humans that (a) men and women do differ in their subjective response to …; (b) these sex differences are evident when women are in the luteal phase, when progesterone levels are elevated; and (c) progesterone administration attenuates the … response to stimulants.”
“Rather, the hormone progesterone has been shown to attenuate the subjective response to stimulants , particularly in women.”
“Recent preclinical data confirm that progesterone reduces the behavioral response to stimulants.”
“Various agents that stimulate cellular protein phosphorylation (8-Br cAMP, okadaic acid, TPA) functionally synergize with progesterone to enhance progesterone-dependent PRtrans-activation in intact cells.”
