    Can progesterone break down into androgens??

    Ok I was reading this article (doesnt really matter what it was about) and I was already doubtful of it being worthy to wipe my ass to begin with.

    And then they quote this doctor saying "progesterone breaks down into androgens in the body" and I'm like WTF? that doesnt sound right. I put down that article right then but now im just making sure that statement was entirely false. I'm right. right?

      I believe that it does convert to androgen compounds during the luteal phase of a woman’s menstrual cycle.

      Was the article that you were reading about pregnancy?

          Its like saying "fat turns to muscle" or "muscle turns to fat" in other words, its like comparing apples to oranges.....eastorgen of any kind cant IMO be "converted" to an androgen. It MAY cause an increase in androgen production as a reflex arc (the increase in estrogen may increase testosterone production in that the body is always trying to stay in an equlibrium, thus a high level of one may increase the production of another) but they will not convert back and forth with each other IMO.

              Synthesis of the male sex hormones in Leydig cells of the testis. P450SSC, 3b-DH, and P450c17 are the same enzymes as those needed for adrenal steroid hormone synthesis. 17,20-desmolase is the same as 17,20-lyase of adrenal hormone synthesis..

                Basically, in the testes enyzmatic pathways break down cholesterol in testerone, and progestrone is part of the process.

                    no, I wont. Im just making sure this doc was wrong. Thanks for that diagram pro, it was very informative.
                    Yeah this guy claims that when you INGEST progesterone it converts to an androgen.
