Progesterone Saliva ELISA kit

Progesterone is a C-21 female sex steroid hormone with a variety of physiological effects. In the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, progesterone is produced in low levels. It increases to the LH peak and then sharply rises 3 to 4 days later to higher levels, remaining elevated through the 10th to 12th days after the LH peak. Next there is a sharp decline to the low levels of the follicular phase. Progesterone is responsible for the induction of the cyclic changes in the endometrium of the uterus allowing implantation and successful growth of the fertilized ovum and maintenance of pregnancy.
