Nathan Goodyear on 07 Dec 12Estrogen receptors alpha and beta show dominance in the proliferative phases, with alpha isoform predominating. In the secretory phase, less expression of ER was present. ER alpha was predominantly expressed in the epithelial and stromal cells in the proliferative phase. ER beta was predominantly expressed in glandular cells in the same proliferative phase. in the luteal phase, ER alpha expression declined in the funtionalis layers. ER alpha in the basalis remained unchanged. ER beta in the functionalis layers also declined in the luteal phase. No relative change was found in the weak expression of ER alpha/beta in the myometrium.
