The purpose of this study was to investigate whether endometrium with retarded development differs, functionally, from endometrium with normal 'in-phase' development. Precisely timed endometrial biopsies were obtained from 24 women suffering from unexplained infertility at 4, 7, 10 and 13 days following the luteinizing hormone (LH) surge. Frozen sections were labelled with an anti-placental protein (PP) 14 monoclonal antibody using an avidin-biotin peroxidase technique and semi-quantification of endometrial PP14 was performed using a Quantimet 970 image analyser. Serum PP14 and saliva progesterone were measured for each patient. Data were analysed using one- and two-way analysis of variance. Normal and retarded endometrium were identified in 16 (group I) and eight (group II) women respectively. Both groups demonstrated a significant increase of the area of precipitate measured for PP14 from day LH + 4 to LH + 13. However, two-way analysis of variance showed that endometrial PP14 was significantly (P < 0.05) lower in the retarded endometrium group at LH + 10 and LH + 13. Serum PP14 was also significantly lower (P < 0.01) in women with retarded endometrial development at LH + 13. Women with normal endometrial development had a significantly higher (P < 0.05) concentration of cumulative saliva progesterone from LH + 3 to LH + 5. This study indicates that there are functional differences between normal and retarded endometrium. These differences may adversely affect uterine receptivity during implantation and the early placentation stage.

D007986 Luteinizing Hormone A major gonadotropin secreted by the adenohypophysis (PITUITARY GLAND, ANTERIOR). Luteinizing hormone regulates steroid production by the interstitial cells of the TESTIS and the OVARY. The preovulatory LUTEINIZING HORMONE surge in females induces OVULATION, and subsequent LUTEINIZATION of the follicle. LUTEINIZING HORMONE consists of two noncovalently linked subunits, alpha and beta. Within a species, the alpha subunit is common in the three pituitary glycoprotein hormones (TSH, LH and FSH), but the beta subunit is unique and confers its biological specificity.

D008597 Menstrual Cycle The period from onset of one menstrual bleeding (MENSTRUATION) to the next in an ovulating woman or female primate. The menstrual cycle is regulated by endocrine interactions of the HYPOTHALAMUS; the PITUITARY GLAND; the ovaries; and the genital tract. The menstrual cycle is divided by OVULATION into two phases. Based on the endocrine status of the OVARY, there is a FOLLICULAR PHASE and a LUTEAL PHASE. Based on the response in the ENDOMETRIUM, the menstrual cycle is divided into a proliferative and a secretory phase.

D011257 Pregnancy Proteins Proteins produced by organs of the mother or the PLACENTA during PREGNANCY. These proteins may be pregnancy-specific (present only during pregnancy) or pregnancy-associated (present during pregnancy or under other conditions such as hormone therapy or certain malignancies.)

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.

D004717 Endometrium The mucous membrane lining of the uterine cavity that is hormonally responsive during the MENSTRUAL CYCLE and PREGNANCY. The endometrium undergoes cyclic changes that characterize MENSTRUATION. After successful FERTILIZATION, it serves to sustain the developing embryo. Endometria
