Q

What causes endometrial implants to be so hyper-estrogenic?

A

Implants express:

  • Aromatase
  • 17 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1
  • All genes required in the stereogenesis cascade to make estradiol from cholesterol

Implants lack

  • 17 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (inactivates estrogens)
