Determination of the concentration of estrogen,progestin and androgen cytosol receptors in human uterine tissues

摘要

The specific bindings of estrogen,progestin and androgen were determined inthe cytosol fraction of myomatous,adenomyotic and postmenopausal uterine tissues andof the normal endometrium and myometrium as well.It was found that theconcentrations of estrogen,progestin and androgen cytosol receptors were significantlyhigher in myomatous tissue than in normal myometrium;there was also an obvious differ-ence of the concentration of the sex steroid receptors between normal endometrium andadenomyotic tissue;and the uterine tissues of postmenopausal women still retained highlevels of these sex steroid receptors.In addition,the regulation of sex steroids in thepathogenesis of myoma and adenomyosis is discussed.
