Nathan Goodyear on 08 Jul 13Transdermal progesterone levels are quickly transported to saliva. This quick transport, while serum doesn't equally reflect progesterone, has puzzled many. Theories have been proposed, yet no answers. This study looked at whether 5alpha reductase expression in the skin would metabolize the progesterone and this explain the difference in the two test mediums. The authors of this study concluded that 5alpha reductase is the not the reason for the difference found in saliva and serum. the same can be applied to urine as well.
