Abstract:
Deoxyribonucleic acid polymerase alpha (a replicative enzyme of cellular deoxyribonucleic acid) activity in the endometrium of the human uterus changed in parallel (p less than 0.001) with the concentration of estrogen in serum during the proliferative phase of the menstrual cycle. This suggests that estrogen stimulates cell proliferation via regulation of the enzyme activity.
