Sooo, lots of new research to share, (maybe too much, lol)

Here's some interesting research collected,

• Progesterone inhibits prolactin, estrogen receptors and aromatase, also DHT (we already knew that though).
  
  
• 5 alpha reductase inhibits progesterone receptors.
  
  
• Synthetic hormones bind to the wrong receptors, those receptors may convey inaccurate signals, which throws the body off balance.
  (This is why BCP’s cause so many hormonal imbalances and side effects).
  
  
• Estradiol in part regulates progesterone production physiologically and blocks progesterone production in a pharmacological or pathological state in the human corpus luteum.
  
  
• Forskolin and dibutyryl-cyclic AMP-stimulates progesterone production.
  
  
• Omega-3 fats, a polyunsaturtated type of fat, is high in testosterone.
  (Omega-3 fatty acids contribute to testosterone conversion and production as well as muscle protein synthesis. Seeds such as flax seed, sunflower also provide healthy fats, including omega-3 fatty acids).
  
• Follicle granulosa cells have FSH-sensitive aromatase activity and proliferate in response to estrogens.
  
• Indole-3-carbinol selectively uncouples expression and activity of estrogen receptor subtypes in human breast cancer cells.
  

More to follow-
