as demonstrated in previous studies , progesterone directly decreases [ 1-14c ] glucose oxidation through the pentose-phosphate pathway and lipogenesis from [ 6-14c ] glucose , the present study therefore compared glucose-induced lipid synthesis during pregnancy ( 10 , 16 and 20 days of pregnancy ) with the effect of progesterone treatment ( 5 mg/rat per day for 14 days ) to shed more light on the role of this steroid in glucose metabolism during pregnancy .
