Hydroxyprogesterone

A steroid hormone made mainly by the adrenal glands, a close relative of progesterone and an intermediate step in the synthesis of cortisol, androgens and oestrogens; its esters, above all the caproate, are used in medicine as progestins. This family brings together the active ingredient and labelled standards.
