The human brain’s response to stress can be reduced by a steroid hormone, known as Progesterone metabolite allopregnanolone, which gets released during progesterone (the female sex hormone) metabolism.
Evidence was cited by scientists demonstrating that response of the brain to a peptide hormone, which exercise a critical role in the stress response in animals, [...]
