“…Many investigators have shown that the mammary gland of different species re sponds differently to estrogens if the hor mone is administered in physiological or supraphysiological doses or in combination with progesterone or alone [7][8][9][10][11], High doses of estrogen administered for a prolonged time to castrated female rats in duces proliferation and dilatation of the lo bules in the glandular tissue with formation of cysts and overgrowth of the epithelium [8]. In addition, estrogen provokes an in crease of circumcanalicular and intralobular connective tissue [7], The successive se quence of mammary alterations following the administration of estradiol to female rats is the proliferation of tubular system secre tion, the dilatation of ducts, formation of cysts, and fibrosis [8]. These changes ob served with supraphysiologic doses of estro gen seem to be comparable to human fibro cystic disease [7,8], In contrast, when estra diol is administered in combination with progesterone, complete and proper develop ment of the mammary gland is observed when the ratio between estrogen and proges terone is adequate [10,11].…”

“…Isso leva a inferir que o progestogênio potencializaria o efeito estrogênico e que não haveria necessidade da ação estrogênica prévia para sua ação. Estudos prévios observaram que a administração de progestogênio induz maior proliferação de células acinares e atividade mitótica, à semelhança da ação estrogênica, propondo que o estrogênio atuaria estimulando a proliferação celular e o progestagênio faria o mesmo, além de induzir a diferenciação quando há ação estrogênica 39,40,41,42 . Os esteróides sexuais, mesmo que acarretem a diferenciação celular ao estimularem a atividade proliferativa mamária, podem propiciar alterações carcinogenéticas, celulares.…”

“…Ainda, a administração isolada de acetato de medroxiprogesterona, bem como sua associação com estrogênios conjugados, induziu maior proliferação de células acinares. Os mesmos achados foram relatados por Bässler 17 , que observou que a progesterona estimulou a lobulação e formação de ácinos e a combinação de progesterona e estrógenos provocou diferenciação lóbulo-alveolar em ratas.…”
