Salivary progesterone levels and rate of ovulation are significantly lower in poorer than in better-of urban-dwelling Bolivian women
(Human Reproduction, 2002)
Agriculturalists in less-developed countries (LDC) have lower progesterone levels than urban industrialized populations. However, it is unknown if urban LDC populations are also relatively lower. We tested whether urban ...
A prospective study of early pregnancy loss in humans
(Fertility and Sterility, 2006-08)
Objective: To test two hypotheses: In spontaneous conceptions, early pregnancy loss (EPL) is associated with [1]
inadequate luteal (ovarian) P, and/or [2] elevated follicular (adrenal) P.
Design: A population-based ...
Interpopulational differences in progesterone levels during conception and implantation in humans
(PNAS, 2004-02-10)
Clinical studies of women from the United States demonstrate a
sensitivity of the ovarian system to energetic stress. Even moder
ate exercise or caloric restriction can lead to lower progesterone
levels and failure to ...
Seasonal modulation of reproductive effort during early pregnancy in humans
(American Journal of Human Biology, 2009-03-03)
Abstract.
Life history theory predicts that early pregnancy presents a relatively low cost, uncontested opportunity for a woman to terminate investment in a current reproductive opportunity if a conceptus is of poor quality ...
Seasonal and circadian variation in salivary testosterone in rural Bolivian men
(American Journal of Human Biology, 2009-02-19)
Abstract.
Testosterone (T) plays a key role in the increase and maintenance of muscle mass and bone density in
adult men. Life history theory predicts that environmental stress may prompt a reallocation of such investments ...
