Sexual steroids and monamine metabolism during gestation

Sexual steroids and monamine metabolism during gestation

S Parvez et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

The experiments show influence of progesterone and estradiol on regulation of enzymes of monamine metabolism, MAO and COMP during pregnancy. Both the hormones inhibit enzymes MAO and COMPT in the adrenals when determined at 0 h parturition. Estradiol has stronger inhibitory effect than progesterone. The results provide evidence for important endocrine implication during pregnancy for processes of monamine regulation.
