Abstract
Discovery of intracellular hormonal receptors has permitted histologic interpretation of the action of ovarian steroids on the endometrium. Research carried out by biochemists and physiologists has led to a better understanding of the histologic effects of hormonal disturbances and isolated or combined hormonal treatments.
