Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Etynodiol diacetate is a progestin that converts to norethindrone in vivo, activating progesterone receptors (PR‑A and PR‑B). It suppresses LH secretion, stabilizes endometrium and modulates reproductive‑axis gene expression.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in progestin‑receptor studies, contraceptive‑mechanism modelling, endocrine modulation assays, and steroid‑hormone pharmacology.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include nausea, breast tenderness, mood changes, thromboembolic risk and breakthrough bleeding. Handle with synthetic‑progestin precautions.
