Summary.

A new synthetic orally active progestational agent 'Medrogestone' was investigated and its activity compared to progesterone and medroxyprogesterone acetate (map). Medrogestone fulfils the criteria of a pure gestagen, it has a spectrum of biological activity similar to that of progesterone but unlike progesterone, it is orally active. Medrogestone is free of undesirable side effects in experimental animals. It is being investigated clinically as an oral progestin (Carter, Faucher & Greenblatt, 1964).

Reproduction is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.

The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
