Differences in prostaglandin (PG) F2 alpha synthesis and degradation were sought between early luteal endometrium (histology day 15 to 22, n = 6) and late luteal endometrium (histology day 23 to 28, n = 6). In addition, alterations in PGF2 …

The production of prolactin by explants of late secretory endometrium has been correlated with the extent of decidual differentiation. This correlation is strengthened by the observation that luteal phase defective endometrium produces less…

Decidua obtained in the late luteal phase of the human menstrual cycle has been shown to produce immunoreactive prolactin (PRL). The amount of PRL produced is a function of the extent of decidual differentiation. Further, the maintenance of…

In many species of mammals, blastocyst implantation stimulates a decidual reaction in which fibrocytic elements within the stroma of the endometrium differentiate into epitheloid decidual cells. In women, decidualization begins under the in…

An unusual case is presented of pulmonary endometriosis characterized by cyclic hemoptysis. The literature associated with thoracic endometriosis is briefly reviewed. This case is the first reported cure of catamenial hemoptysis with the an…

Prolactin (PRL) synthesis by human decidua from term pregnancies has been reported. The present study examined the tissue content and in vitro production of prolactin by "decidualized" and "nondecidualized" endometrium unassociated with pre…
