A synthetic progestin Nestorone is being developed for female-contraception. This study was conducted to determine the distribution, metabolism, and excretion of tritium-labeled Nestorone ((3)H Nestorone) in adult female rats. Rats were injected subcutaneously (S.C.) with a single dose of 400
This descriptive study evaluated endometrial histology, microvascular density and caliber, and quantification of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP-3) expression in long-term users of the Nestorone (NES)-releasing implant who presented or not endometrial breakthrough bleeding (BTB). Endometrial biopsies were obtained from 32 healthy
Limited information is available on the effects of progestins on breast cancer progression and metastasis. Cell migration and invasion are central for these processes, and require dynamic cytoskeletal and cell membrane rearrangements for cell motility to be enacted. We investigated
Transdermal delivery of steroids is gaining popularity for contraception and hormone replacement therapy. This study aimed to test metered spray delivery of a precise dosage of Nestorone (NES) progestogen as a possible transdermal progestogen-only contraceptive. Six healthy postmenopausal volunteers, not
We evaluated the effects of a new combined hormonal contraceptive vaginal ring (CVR) delivering the nonandrogenic progestin Nestorone (NES) and ethinyl estradiol (EE) on several key estrogen-sensitive hepatic proteins that may be markers for the risk of arterial or venous
