Abstract

Objective: To explore the mechanism of Jiantai liquid on the endometrium development of embryo implantation dysfunction mice.

Method: The model of embryo implantation dysfunction mice was induced by mifepristone and treated by Jiantai liquid. All animals were sacrificed on day 8 of pregnancy. Estradiol and progesterone concentrations in serum and endometrium tissue homogenates were measured by radioimmunoassay method, the endometial expressions of estrogen receptor (ER)and progesterone receptor (PR)assessed by immunohistochemical SP method.

Result: There were no significantly differences in the estradiol and progesterone concentrations in serum and uterus tissue homogenates among three groups( P > 0.05). Absorbency and area rate of ER, PR in model group' s gland and stroma were higher than those in model group(P < 0.05), which was similar with the control group( P > 0.05).

Conclusion: Jiantai liquid increase the implantation rate and improve the endometrial development by increasing the expressions of ER, PR in endometrium of embryo implantation dysfunction
