Scope note: Compuestos que interactúan con los RECEPTORES DE PROGESTERONA en los tejidos diana y causan efectos similares a los de la PROGESTERONA. Los gestágenos, incluidos los esteroides naturales y sintéticos, actúan durante preparación para el EMBARAZO y el mantenimiento de la gestación sobre el ÚTERO y las GLÁNDULAS MAMARIAS HUMANAS.

Scope note: Compounds that interact with PROGESTERONE RECEPTORS in target tissues to bring about the effects similar to those of PROGESTERONE. Primary actions of progestins, including natural and synthetic steroids, are on the UTERUS and the MAMMARY GLAND in preparation for and in maintenance of PREGNANCY.
