The expression of ER-β in human eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis and interna-endometriosis

Objective To investigate the different expression of estrogen receptor β(ER-β) in human eutopic endometrium from women with endometriosis and interna-endometriosis.MethodsER-β concentration was determined by immunochemical PV method in 27 women.ResultsER-β was only found in epithelial cells but not stromal cells.ER-β concentration was higher in endometrium from women without endometriosis than that from women with endometriosis.ConclusionThere are significant differences of ER-β in the eutopic endometrium from women with interna-endometriosis,with and without endometriosis,it has clinical significance for therapy.
