@Koveras I guess one has to be careful not to focus on one part of the endocrine system as it's all related and can probably only be understood by taking a step back. If 5 dihydroprogesterone affects one pituitary characteristic (estrogen "recepors"), then it makes sense the whole gland would be similarly affected, possibly for better, possibly for worse. And also too, as you're showing, the pituitary hormone alone doesn't indicate the degree of responsiveness in the terminal tissue, which seems to depend on many factors. I wonder of roddy has thought about all this it can be tempting to adopt the mainstream view of one hormone for one function but clearly they work together and influence each other.
