Nachweis von Nervenfasern und Nervenwachstumsfaktoren in Adenomyosis uteri
Nerve fibers were detected within the myometrium and within adenomyotic lesions of the uterus in women with adenomyosis.

The study examined the presence of nerve fibers (PGP 9.5, S100, and NGFR p75) and nerve growth factor markers (NGF) in uteri of women with histologically confirmed adenomyosis (n=40) using immunohistochemistry, with myoma uteri (n=20) as controls, and analyzed expression separately across endometrium (stratum functionale/stratum basale), junctional zone, myometrium, and adenomyosis lesions. It found no significant differences in nerve expression in myometrium or between adenomyosis and controls for several markers, and no detectable myelinated fibers in the endometrium/ junctional zone; small signals near adenomyosis foci were observed. A neuron growth assay using sensory ganglia incubated in Douglas fluid from women with adenomyosis versus without adenomyosis showed increased outgrowth in the adenomyosis condition but not significantly, and the authors therefore conclude that adenomyosis uteri do not show strengthened innervation overall. This paper is centrally about adenomyosis — it characterizes nerve fibers and nerve growth factors across adenomyosis lesions and related uterine compartments and evaluates functional nerve outgrowth in vitro.
