Antagonistic effect of progesterone towards estradiol dipropionate-induced changes in glycogen content in uterus and vagina of P-mice

Abstract

Estradiol dipropionate induces an increase (3-fold) in the uterine glycogen content and a decrease (4-fold) in the vaginal glycogen content of Parkes (P) mice. Progesterone antagonizes this estradiol dipropionate-induced response in both the uterine and vaginal tissue. The degree of this antagonism is more pronounced in the uterus than in the vagina. © 1985 Birkhäuser Verlag.
