Abstract

The purpose of this study was to attempt to characterize women with a luteal phase defect (LPD) by cytosol estrogen and progesterone (P) levels and peroxidase activity in endometrial biopsy samples. These values were correlated with circulating serum estradiol, P, testosterone, and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate measurements. Similar data were obtained from women during the proliferative phase of the cycle. Midluteal phase P values were significantly greater in women with normal luteal function than in those with LPD; however, some overlap of values existed. Furthermore, because no significant differences between this group and normal women were seen, we were unable to characterize women with LPD by estrogen or P receptor levels or endometrial peroxidase activity.
