The activity change during puberty suggests that humans communicate through odors. [4] Several axillary steroids have been described as possible human pheromones: androstadienol, androstadienone, androstenone, androstenol, and androsterone. Androstenol is the putative female pheromone. [5]
According to a study conducted by Whitcome, et al., lumbar lordosis can increase from an angle of 32 degrees at 0% fetal mass (i.e. non-pregnant women or very early in pregnancy) to 50 degrees at 100% fetal mass (very late in pregnancy). Postpartum, the angle of the lordosis declines and can reach the angle prior to pregnancy.
As a paracrine hormone, relaxin helps the non-pregnant uterus become ready for pregnancy. [23] Women's endometrium contains relaxin, which is an essential component that helps prepare the body for early pregnancy. [21] The endometrium is transformed into decidua during the early pregnancy maintenance procedure. [21]

promote maintenance of corpus luteum during beginning of pregnancy, Inhibit immune response, towards the human embryo, serves as the basis of early pregnancy test 37 Human placental lactogen: HPL Peptide: placenta: increase production of insulin and IGF-1. increase insulin resistance and carbohydrate intolerance 38 Growth hormone: GH or hGH Peptide
Signs and symptoms of pregnancy are common, benign conditions that result from the changes to the body that occur during pregnancy. Signs and symptoms of pregnancy typically change as pregnancy progresses, although several symptoms may be present throughout. Depending on severity, common symptoms in pregnancy can develop into complications ...
Many nonhuman studies can be used as both potential models for humans and to show the phylogenetic conservation of some endocrine signals. [1] Estrogen and progesterone released by ovaries during pregnancy make oxytocin receptors more sensitive in female rats [8] and is associated with the onset of maternal behaviors in other species as well.
Ovulating heterosexual females also display preferences toward masculine faces and report greater sexual attraction to males other than their current partner. [10] From an evolutionary perspective, increases in estrogens during fertile periods in females may direct sexual motivation toward males with preferential genes (the good genes hypothesis).
