[edit] Table

Hi- I am curious about the source of data for the table added by Terrace4 on 8/13/05, reporting the activity of different progestins. Any information regarding the source of this data would be greatly appreciated- NLMV, 2:19, 6 March 2006

I've seen this table before, about a year ago, and have been looking for it recently. Whn I find the source for it, I'll post it. In the meantime, anyone know a endocrinologist with some spare time? Pelargonium 08:51, 27 March 2007 (UTC)Pelargonium

Different progestins have different combinations of androgen (testosterone-like) activity and progesterone activity. If the activity of 1 mg of norethindrone is taken as the baseline, 1 mg of the other progestins have activities as follows: ^{[citation needed]}
