Reproductive biology and endocrinology : RB&E ·doi:10.1186/1477-7827-7-144

BACKGROUND: Progesterone plays an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of human endometrial cells (hECs). Large-dose treatment with progesterone has been used for treatment of endometrial proliferative disorders. However,…
