Effect of single-dose progesterone administration on estradiol receptor levels in normal human endometrium. 1985

I G Gorodeski, and C M Bahari, and R Beery, and A Geier, and B Lunenfeld

The effects of single-dose progesterone administration on cytosolic and nuclear estradiol receptor levels (RCE2, RNE2) in normal human endometrium were studied in a group of 17 women and the results compared to 18 controls. In both groups, RCE2 and RNE2 levels were highest in the mid-cycle phase and lowest in the secretory phase. Although a wide range of values was found in both groups, the levels of RCE2 in the two groups did not differ significantly. It seems that in human endometrium a single progesterone injection does not significantly change RCE2 and RNE2 levels.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D011374 Progesterone The major progestational steroid that is secreted primarily by the CORPUS LUTEUM and the PLACENTA. Progesterone acts on the UTERUS, the MAMMARY GLANDS and the BRAIN. It is required in EMBRYO IMPLANTATION; PREGNANCY maintenance, and the development of mammary tissue for MILK production. Progesterone, converted from PREGNENOLONE, also serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of GONADAL STEROID HORMONES and adrenal CORTICOSTEROIDS.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell
