ObjectiveTo compare the expression of oxytocin receptor in the uterine junctional zone of the fundus and isthmus in the proliferative and secretory phases in women with and without adenomyosis.DesignExperimental prospective clinical study.SettingTertiary gynecologic medical center.PopulationTwenty-nine women with adenomyosis (15 in proliferative phase, 14 in secretory phase) and 27 women without adenomyosis (15 in proliferative phase, 12 in secretory phase).MethodsSamples from the uterine fundus and isthmus were obtained at hysterectomy. The expression of oxytocin receptor was evaluated using immunohistochemistry.Main outcome measuresImmuno-reactive score was used evaluate semi-quantitatively the oxytocin receptor expression.ResultsIn normal uteri, the expression of oxytocin receptor in the isthmus was significantly higher than in the fundus in the proliferative phase (p
