[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 206086, member: 3"] I found this paper I am planning to read tomorrow on my long flight: [B][SIZE=22px]Progesterone: the forgotten hormone in men?[/SIZE][/B] Oettel, M ; Mukhopadhyay, AK The aging male, 2004-09, Vol.7 (3), p.236-257 'Classical' genomic progesterone receptors appear relatively late in phylogenesis, i.e. it is only in birds and mammals that they are detectable.
