Conclusions

  1. 1.

    In the cytosol of the decidual tissue of women 3 h after intravaginal introduction of suppositories with 1 mg 15-methyl-PGF, the content of estrogen and progesterone receptors is increased.

  2. 2.

    In vitro, PGF in doses of 10, 25, 50, and 100 μg/ml induces a dose-dependent increase in the content of estrogen receptors in the decidual tissue 15, 30, 60, and 180 min after introduction into the incubation medium.

  3. 3.

    The content of progesterone receptors is unchanged under the action of PGF in each dose studied and for any time of incubation.

  4. 4.

    The increase in the content of estrogen receptors under the action of PGF is not associated withde novo biosynthesis of the receptors.
