Product Description
Mechanism of Action
Desogestrel is a thirdgeneration progestin that is converted to the active metabolite etonogestrel. It binds progesterone receptors, suppresses luteinizing hormone (LH) surges, inhibits ovulation, thickens cervical mucus, and modifies endometrial receptivity. Its androgenic activity is low, making it useful for hormonalregulation research.
Benefits and Advantages
Used in reproductiveendocrinology modelling, ovulationsuppression studies, progesteronereceptor signalling analysis, hormonalcontraception mechanism research and metabolichormone profiling.
Side Effects and Risks
Risks include thromboembolic events, mood changes, irregular bleeding, breast tenderness and metabolic shifts. Handle with hormonemodulating compound precautions.
