Progesterone decreases the biologic activity of estradiol on the endometrium during the luteal phase by decreasing the concentration of estradiol receptors, increasing the enzymatic activity of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type II (which converts estradiol to estrone), and increasing the activity of estrone sulfotransferase.
