Menstruation process occurs on marriageable girls as an indication that ovary has been in function. One of the menstruation phases is known as luteal phase. At this phase, a kind of problems sometimes happens, like imbalance of estrogen and progesterone hormones. Both are steroid hormones. CYP17 is a crucial enzyme for biosynthesis of steroid.
To identify the roles of CYP17 gene expression towards imbalance of estrogen and progesterone hormones at luteal phase in marriageable girls.
Adopting non-experimental design using cross sectional approach to 40 samples.
There is role between CYP17 gene expression and estrogen hormone levels. There is role between CYP17 gene expression and progesterone hormone levels. There is role between CYP17 gene expression and imbalance of estrogen and progesterone hormone.
