The presence and distribution of oestrogen and progesterone receptors have been investigated by means of immunohistochemical procedures in the uterus of two groups of cows: the first group underwent superovulatory hormonal treatment while the second group was used as a control group. After the immunohistochemical study no differences regarding the presence and distribution of hormone receptors seemed to be apparent between the two groups, so it was concluded that the topographical distribution and staining intensity of hormone receptors seem to be unaffected by hormonal superovulatory treatment.
