What are the Histological Changes Induced by Progesterone?
Progesterone induces several histological changes in the endometrium:
Secretory Transformation: The endometrial glands become more complex and start secreting glycoproteins and lipids. Stromal Decidualization: The stromal cells differentiate into decidual cells, which are essential for embryo implantation. Vascular Changes: Progesterone increases vascular permeability and promotes the formation of spiral arteries, ensuring adequate blood supply.
