Unlike estrogen, which mainly promotes neovascularization through activating classic post-receptor signaling pathways, progesterone (P4) regulates a variety of downstream factors with angiogenic or antiangiogenic effects, exerting various influences on neovascularization. Furthermore, diverse progestins, the synthetic progesterone receptor (PR) agonists structurally related to P4, have been used in numerous studies, which could contribute to unequal actions. As a result, there have been many conflicting observations in the past, making it difficult for researchers to define the exact role of progestogens (PR agonists including naturally occurring P4 and synthetic progestins). This review summarizes available evidence for progestogen-mediated neovascularization under physiological and pathological circumstances, and attempts to elaborate their functional characteristics and regulatory patterns from a comprehensive perspective.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biom11111686","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,14]],"date-time":"2021-11-14T20:48:36Z","timestamp":1636922916000},"page":"1686","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Solving the Puzzle: What Is the Role of Progestogens in Neovascularization?"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Zhi","family":"Xia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geriatrics, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Changsha 410008, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geriatrics, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Changsha 410008, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Qiong","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geriatrics, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Changsha 410008, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Ribatti, D., and Pezzella, F.
