Abstract
Endocervical epithelium from women treated with gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRH agonist) were compared with those from untreated women, using metachromatic stain with toluidine blue and immunohistochemistry, for estrogen and progesterone receptors. Smaller endocervical epithelium with lower intraepithelial mucus and more prominent nuclear distribution of estrogen receptors were seen in a woman who was treated for twelve months with GnRH agonists, as compared with those from an untreated premenopausal woman.
