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.

Прогестоге́ны (прогестаге́ны; от лат. pro + gester «для вынашивания» и γένος «происхождение»), — общее собирательное название подкласса стероидных женских половых гормонов, производимых в основном жёлтым телом яичников и частично корой надпочечников, а также плацентой плода. Синтетические прогестогены принято называть прогестинами.
