“Interestingly, in contrast to ZK 136798, ON reduced the preovulatory increase in progesterone secretion.”
“These results clearly indicate: (a) that antiovulatory potency and antiprogestational activity may not be correlated in the rat; and (b) that decreased preovulatory levels of progesterone following treatment with ON may play an important role in intraovarian mechanism(s) contributing to a blocking of ovulation.”
