Abstract

Indirect immunoperoxidase technique in combination with cytophotometry showed that prolactin imbalance in the periovulatory period is characterized by considerable changes in the expression of prolactin receptors in uterine glands and endometrial stroma (but not in the myometrium) and in the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, while receptor compartmentalization pattern remaines unchanged.
