Abstract
(1) Progesterone administration to rats and dogs with experimental hypertension and to humans with primary arterial hypertension resulted in a decline in blood pressure levels. Blood pressures increased once more in all cases after progesterone was discontinued. (2) In humans, but not necessarily in rats and dogs, blood pressure reduction would appear to have resulted from natruresis.Keywords
