Abstract
SummaryAdministration of progesterone (2 mg/rat/day) stimulated iron metabolism but had no action on hemopoiesis in male and female rats. Variation in the stimulating action of progesterone on iron mobilization is observed in male and female rats. Iron mobilization from bone marrow, liver and spleen to blood in rats after progesterone administration shows a uniform decrease and there is a significant increase in blood and plasma iron level. It is tentatively suggested that progesterone plays a regulating or supporting role in mobilization of iron from different tissues to blood.
