How does progesterone influence breast tissue development, structure and function and are there any potential risks associated with high or low levels of progesterone in breast health?
Progesterone stimulates mammary tissue growth by activating receptors and increasing ductal branching, essential for milk production. High levels may increase breast cancer risk, while low levels can impair breast development and function.
Progesterone plays a crucial role in breast development and function by stimulating lobular-alveolar growth. High levels can increase breast cancer risk, while low levels may affect milk production.
