The activity of the oestradiol-17 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in human endometrial and breast cancer specimens was determined by the NAD-dependent conversion of oestradiol-17 beta to oestrone. The sensitivity of the determination was improved by the separation of the hormones by HPLC. We are now able to determine oestradiol-17 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase quantitatively in cryostat sections. A clear correlation of serum progesterone levels and oestradiol-17 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activity in the endometrium was demonstrated, and we found a more than 30-fold increase in enzyme activity after the progesterone surge. In contrast, in breast cancer samples, we found no correlation between oestradiol-17 beta hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and the measured serum parameters.
