Glycogen synthesis is a critical metabolic function of the endometrium to prepare for successful implantation and sustain embryo development. Yet, regulation of endometrial carbohydrate metabolism is poorly characterized. Whereas glycogen synthesis is attributed to progesterone, we previously found that the metabolic B isoform of the insulin receptor is maximally expressed in secretory-phase endometrium, indicating a potential role of insulin in glucose metabolism.
