progestógeno

Also known as progestagen, gestagen

Progestogens, also sometimes written progestins, progestagens or gestagens, are a class of natural or synthetic steroid hormones that bind to and activate the progesterone receptors (PR). Progesterone is the major and most important progestogen in the body. The progestogens are named for their function in maintaining pregnancy (i.e., progestational), although they are also present at other phases of the estrous and menstrual cycles.

Progestógeno/progestágeno, progestagénio/progestogénio (português europeu) ou progestagênio/progestogênio (português brasileiro), progestina ou ainda gestágeno é um grupo de hormônios sexuais que atuam nos receptores de progesterona. São usados como anticoncepcionais, na terapia hormonal, para estimular a fertilidade e manter a gravidez e para diagnosticar e tratar alguns transtornos ginecológicos e obstétricos como amenorreia secundária, sangramento uterino e endometriose. O problema com tantos nomes diferentes para esse mesmo grupo de substâncias também ocorre no inglês e espanhol. Progestógeno significa "pró-gestação", mas ironicamente a pílula do dia seguinte e muitos anticoncepcionais (como desogestrel, noretisterona e levonorgestrel) são progestágenos. O principal progestágeno é a progesterona, hormônio que regula a gravidez, mas a maioria das medicações progestágenas são sintéticas. Os nomes dos fármacos geralmente termina em "gestrel".
