OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study is to compare the relationship between estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), androgens, and prolactin blood levels on the one hand, and endometrial thickness and related histopathologic results on the other, in postmenopausal women admitted with uterine bleeding.
METHODS
The
Plasma androstenedione (A) levels and plasma oestrone (E1) levels were measured by radioimmunoassay in a total of 135 healthy women (the control group), around the menopause. Both A and E1 plasma levels were found to drop significantly in the post-menopausal women (P less than 0.001). The mean
Two girls of 13 and 18 years of age, XX chromosomic pattern, complaining of delay in sexual development (Stage 1) and primary amenorrhea, were studied. Height, weight and surface area in the 13 years subject were three standard deviations below the anthropometric characteristics of already
BACKGROUND
Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA)-treatment suppresses serum gonadotropin and androgen concentrations in women with polycystic ovarian disease (PCOD). This study was designed to determine serum testosterone (T), androstenedione (A) and luteinizing hormone (LH) patterns in a group of
The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of prolonged use of finasteride on serum levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), estradiol (E2), progesterone, testosterone and androstenedione in women during the menstrual period. Further, to screen and compare the 5α-reductase activities through
Postmenopausal women convert circulatory C19 steroids to estrogen. In order to study the possible role of such estrogen in endometrial cancer, the determination of the fractional conversion of circulation delta-4-androstene-3,17-dione to estrone was attempted. However, in the course of this work it
BACKGROUND
Increased adrenal androgen hormones in congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) can rarely cause giant ovarian cysts in the neonatal period. Although the exact mechanism of the development of ovarian cysts is unknown, it is thought that increased androgen levels stimulate folicle development
The androgen 11-ketotestosterone (11-KT) plays an important role in reproductive physiology and behaviour in male teleosts. In the three-spined stickleback, Gasterosteus aculeatus, the plasma concentrations of 11-KT are related to the breeding status of the fish. Sticklebacks are relatively small
Studies have shown that immune responses are depressed in male mice, but not in proestrus females after trauma-hemorrhage (TH), resulting in increased mortality from subsequent sepsis in male mice compared with female mice. These gender-specific alterations in immune function are believed to be due
The aim of the study was to determine if adolescents with juvenile bleeding had polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and insulin resistance.The study was conducted in a group of 43 females aged 12-18 years, diagnosed with juvenile menorrhagia, and 37 healthy OBJECTIVE
To examine the effect of short-term progestogen treatment on androgen, gonadotropin, and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) levels in oligomenorrheic women.
METHODS
Comparative study of changes in hormonal parameters in patients with or without ultrasonographically diagnosed polycystic
The diagnostic criteria used to identify patients suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome remain controversial. The present prospective longitudinal follow-up study was designed to identify whether certain criteria assessed during standardized initial screening could predict the response to
The endocrinology of the perimenopause--the time between pre- and postmenopause--is characterized by changes in the metabolism of the steroid hormones caused by increasing insufficiency of the ovaries. Until the age of 48 the concentrations of the estrogens are relatively constant with a median
To evaluate the effects of Diane-35 on androgenized oligomenorrheic women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, 32 women with PCOS were recruited to an open study of one-year duration. The effects of Diane-35 on signs of androgenization and on morphological and hormonal parameters were assessed in the
A 24-year-old female with significant ovarian hypertestosteronism, who responded well both to gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist and cyclic administration of estrogen and gestagens in terms of suppressing circulating testosterone levels is reported. The patient's menstrual periods had
