Progesterone in vitro decreases the rates of glucose uptake and of acetate uptake and oxidation, of lipogenesis from acetate and of oxygen consumption, and reduces the intracellular concentrations of ATP and citrate in slices of luteinized rat ovary incubated in a bicarbonate-buffered medium. The effect on glucose uptake was shown to be due to inhibition by progesterone of the membrane transport of glucose. In view of the steroid concentrations used to elicit these effects in vitro and the known actions of steroids such as progesterone on biological membranes, these observations are thought to be due to non-physiological lytic effects.
Journal of Endocrinology is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
