A study to evaluate serum and urinary hormone levels following short and long term administration of two regimens of progesterone cream in postmenopausal women
Saliva can be used as a diagnostic specimen not only to obtain information more inexpensively and efficiently than serum, but also to provide information not readily available from serum testing.
Saliva is a wonderful marker of early disease detection that leads
to more effective treatment, risk assessment for future oral and
systemic disease, and a simple, non invasive alternative to blood and
urine tests
Measurement of saliva progesterone may be of value in the prediction of early preterm labour and in determining which women might benefit from progesterone supplementation.
