The mean plasma production rate of androstenedione was about 1/2 that observed in premenopausal women and arose mostly from the adrenal glands. Mean transfer constant value was about twice the value obtained in premenopausal women. Techniques used are described in detail. Results suggest that the ...

Women’s ovaries also produce testosterone, though in much smaller amounts. Testosterone plays an essential role in men’s health. It is responsible for many bodily functions, including sperm production, sex drive, muscle mass, bone density, facial hair, fat distribution, and red blood cell ...
There is increasing evidence that in both men and women extraglandular production of C18 steroids from C19 precursors is important in normal physiology as well as in pathophysiologic states. The enzyme aromatase is found in a number of human tissues and cells, including ovarian granulosa cells, ...
Urinary estrogen excretion in women was assayed using Brown-Kanbegawa's method. The following results were obtained. In the normal menstrual cycle, the peak in urinary estrogen was observed at the ovulation time and the middle luteal phase. Gradual increase after 12 year old in puberty, and gra...
and has been shown to be fruitful in improving quality of life in women suffering from postmenopausal discomforts. An often forgotten condition associated with menopause is the optic nerve disorder, glaucoma. Thus, estrogen may also have an impact in maintaining the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs),...
