BACKGROUND: The capacity of different tissues to respond to steroids has been evaluated mainly according to the concentrations of oestrogen (ER) and progesterone (PR) receptors, which may be assayed either in tissue homogenates or histochem…
OBJECTIVE: To assay the cathepsin D level in endometriotic tissue, to study the difference to uterine endometrium and the correlation to localization. DESIGN: Prospective consecutive study on endometriotic tissue and endometrium. SETTING: U…
Endometriotic tissue sometimes shows an invasive pattern, but the growth regulation of the tissue is insufficiently characterized. In a research programme on factors regulating endometriotic growth, the DNA ploidy status and S-phase fractio…
OBJECTIVE: To study the hormonal regulation of primary and recurrent endometriosis by comparing the levels of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) with the levels in uterine endometrium obtained simultaneously. DESIGN: Ti…
The levels of oestrogen and progesterone receptors were analysed in 62 endometriotic tissue samples obtained at laparotomy of 58 women and in samples of endometrium obtained simultaneously from 49 of the women. Both ligand techniques and en…
