10. Researchers have discovered a new compound that is a candidate for birth control. Its proposed mechanism is to be a progesterone receptor agonist meaning that it binds and activates receptors that would normally recognize progesterone. Researchers are interested in understanding the efficacy of the new compound, in other words, how well does its progesterone receptor agonist activity prevent the possibility of pregnancy. Assume that we are working in a rodent model system (mouse or rat) and propose a research design to test the efficacy of this compound. This design needs to address the proposed mechanism that this compound is a progesterone receptor agonist. Include a description of the variables in the experiment, the treatment groups, the procedure to detect the efficacy of the proposed mechanism, and an explanation of the results that would be required to confirm the efficacy of this compound for birth control.
