“Further investigation showed that progesterone regulates renal potassium handling both in males and females under potassium restriction, independent of its role in reproduction.”
“High levels of potassium further increased the output of progesterone from tissue stimulated with LH.”
“The addition of 47 mM potassium to the medium resulted in increased progesterone output (P less than 0.01) and depolarization of the luteal cell membrane within 2 min.”
“On the day of injection a slight increase in the renal excretion of potassium frequently followed administration of progesterone , estrone, α-estradiol or testosterone propionate.”
