Twenty-four hour integrated concentrations of progesterone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone and cortisol in normal male subjects. 1977

J P Gutai, and W J Meyer, and A A Kowarski, and C J Migeon

The 24 h integrated concentrations of progesterone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone (17-OHP) and cortisol were determined in 5 male subjects ranging in age from 25 to 36 years. Using a nonthrombogenic catheter and a constant withdrawal pump, blood was collected for a period of 24 h in 30 min aliquots. All five subjects had similar 24 h integrated concentrations of cortisol (9.2 +/- 5.4). One subject had elevated 24 h integrated concentrations of progesterone (55.2 +/- 18.7) and 17-OHP (352 +/- 122) when compared to the mean integrated concentrations (progesterone: 24.9 +/- 4.7; 17-OHP: 109 +/- 33) of the 4 other subjects. The 30 min integrated concentrations showed a diurnal variation for both 17-OHP and cortisol but not for progesterone. The best correlation between cortisol and 17-OHP occurred when the concentration of 17-OHP 90 or 120 min earlier. No significant correlation occurred between cortisol and progesterone.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
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.
