ESTROGEN &
PROGESTERONE
ESTROGEN
The estrogens are steroidal hormones synthesized from cholesterol and produced prima
ovaries, placenta and corpus luteum
Under the influence of the estrogens the uterus is less susceptible to infection

role in the maintenance of
PROGESTERON pregnancy (and

Progesterone alters both the rate and the pattern of collagen production alters b
rate and pattern of collagen production in the gingiva, resulting in a reduced abi

Microbes that allowed to multiply as a result of this effect include gram negative
anaerobes such as Prevotella intermedia, which has the ability to substitute est
