Objective:
The aims of this study were (1) to document the extent of variability in physiological aspects of reproductive aging; (2) to outline those areas where more work is needed to expand our knowledge of this variability; (3) to outline availa...

Childhood conditions influence adult progesterone levels (2007)
Journal Article
Nunez-de-la-Mora, A., Chatterton, R., Choudhury, O., Napolitano, D., & Bentley, G. (2007). Childhood conditions influence adult progesterone levels. PLoS Medicine, 4(5), 813-821. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.0040167

Background Average profiles of salivary progesterone in women vary significantly at the inter- and intrapopulation level as a function of age and acute energetic conditions related to energy intake, energy expenditure, or a combination of both. In ad... Read More about Childhood conditions influence adult progesterone levels.

The effect of chewing betel nut on measurements of salivary progesterone and estradiol. (2006)
Journal Article
Núñez-de la Mora, A., Chatterton, R. T., Mateo, E. T., Jesmin, F., & Bentley, G. R. (2007). The effect of chewing betel nut on measurements of salivary progesterone and estradiol. American journal of physical anthropology, 132(2), 311-315. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.20513

The measurement of steroids in saliva is both simple and non-invasive and has been widely used in field and clinical-based research. The observance of particular cultural practices by some populations, however, may hamper accurate hormonal analyses....
