The circulating levels of androstenedione also decrease, since it is produced by ovaries and adrenal glands and the ovarian contribution is poor in menopause [8]. Testosterone levels during menopause are reduced compared to the fertile age, although, due to the stimulation of gonadotropins on the ...

SUMMARYPlasma sex hormone concentrations (testosterone, (T), androstenedione (A), oestrone (El) and oestradiol (E2)) were measured in forty post-menopausal women more than 4 years post-normal menopause. Correlations between these and age, years post-menopause (YPM), degree of obesity and fat ...
The risk for cardiovascular disease is much lower in women than men until women reach the age of 50 years of age, then risk rises dramatically after menopause. Previous studies have demonstrated that higher androgen and lower estrogen levels are associated with risk factors forheartdisease in post...
Before the menopause, most of the body's estrogen is produced in the ovaries. But after themenopause, estrogen is instead produced by an enzyme calledaromatase. This estrogen is typically made in our fat tissue. Aromatase produces estrogen by converting other hormones—such as testosterone and and...
