[DNA concentration in the nuclei of endometrial gland epithelium in the presence of dyshormonal hyperplasias of the climacteric period].

The DNA content in the nuclei of the glandular epithelium of the endometrium was studied by microspectrophotometry in 6 women of fertile age and 10 with the climacteric dyshormonal adenocystic hyperplasia. In normal uterine mucosa the DNA quantity remained unchanged at various phases of the menstrual cycle. As compared to the normal, in dyshormonal endometrial hyperplasia the DNA content was almost doubled; there was also a moderate increase of polyploidy.
