Androgen, estrogen and progestin cytosol receptor concentrations in the normal human endometrium. Effects of intrauterine device.
The specific androgen, estrogen and progestin binding was studied in normal human endometrium during various phases of the menstrual cycle. The simultaneous presence of these three hormone receptors was a common finding. Androgen receptor concentrations did not show cyclic variations. A copper intrauterine device had no effect on the endometrial androgen, estrogen and progestin receptor concentrations.
