During menstruation and menopause, the conjunctival tissue shows cyclic variations in conjunctival epithelium. Even the maturity of the conjunctival tissue strongly correlates with the levels of estrogen.

High serum FSH levels are a sign of menopause in females13,14. Our results suggest a strong link between elevated serum FSH levels and an increased risk of diabetes in postmenopausal women. This is consistent with clinical phenomenon in which epidemiological surveys have shown an increased risk of...
High levels of testosterone in the blood deactivate the hypothalamus, which in turn directly inhibits the production of luteinizing hormone (LH). Predict the effect of steroid hormone dosing on pituitary hormone production and steroid synthesis in the ...
