Some gases are lighter than air. Hydrogen is the lightest of all, and easily manufactured, even at home -- for example by dropping aluminium foil into a solution of sodium hydroxide (highly dangerous because it will spit droplets of hot caustic liquid at you which may blind you permanently if they land in your eyes).
The corpus luteum is essential for establishing and maintaining pregnancy in females. The corpus luteum secretes progesterone, which is a steroid hormone responsible for the decidualization of the endometrium (its development) and maintenance, respectively. It also produces relaxin, a hormone responsible for softening of the pubic symphysis which helps in parturition.
Researchers are exploring the use of other hormones for treating endometriosis and the pain related to it. One example is gestrinone (pronounced GES-trih-nohn), which has been used in Europe but is not available in the United States.
