Unique ID: D011372
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D011372
Annotation: note entry term PROGESTIN EFFECT: use only for the progestin effect of a chemical substance
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.
