Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Progesterone does not directly cause the secretion of prolactin. Prolactin secretion is primarily regulated by the pituitary gland, influenced by factors such as estrogen levels, but not directly by progesterone. Progesterone's main roles during pregnancy include maintaining the endometrium, suppressing uterine contractions, and promoting breast glandular tissue growth, but not directly influencing prolactin secretion.
