WHAT DOES PROGESTOGEN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Progestogen

Progestogens are a group of steroid hormones. The most important progestogen in the body is progesterone. Other endogenous progestogens include 17-hydroxyprogesterone, 5α-dihydroprogesterone, and 11-deoxycorticosterone. The progestogens are one of the five major classes of steroid hormones, in addition to the estrogens, androgens, mineralocorticoids, and glucocorticoids. All progestogens are characterized by their basic 21-carbon skeleton, called a pregnane skeleton. In similar manner, the estrogens possess an estrane skeleton and androgens, an andrane skeleton. Progestogens are named for their function in maintaining pregnancy, although they are also present at other phases of the estrous and menstrual cycles. The progestogen class of hormones includes all steroids with a pregnane skeleton, that is, both naturally occurring and synthetic ones. Exogenous or synthetic hormones are usually referred to as progestins.
