Plasma levels of estradiol and progesterone were determined at different gestational ages in Indian pregnant women from the low socio-economic group. The levels of estradiol and progesterone progressively increased with gestation and reached maximum values (14.35 +/- 1.092 and 145.9 +/- 7.69 ng/ml, respectively) by term. Though the estradiol values were comparable to those reported in literature, the term values of progesterone were found to be lower (145.9 +/- 7.69 ng/ml) than those reported from Western countries (160 +/- 7.5 ng/ml) at 34-38 wk of gestation. These low progesterone values may have physiological implication in placental function.

D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.
