Comparison of serum oestrogen concentrations in post-menopausal women taking oestrone sulphate and oestradiol.
Mean serum concentrations of oestradiol-17beta, oestrone, and oestrone sulphate in postmenopausal women were the same when measured up to six hours after treatment with either piperazine oestrone sulphate 1.5 mg or oestradiol valerate 2 mg. Maximum concentrations of oestradiol were less than those of oestrone, but oestrone sulphate reached concentrations about 30 times higher than those of oest...

متن کاملPlasma hormone levels in different ethnic populations of women.
It has been suggested that the urinary hormone profile is subject to environmental changes, such as urbanization and Westernization, and that the composition of the hormones can be used as a discriminate in determining the patient at risk for breast cancer. In this study, a comparison of the plasma hormone levels in Bantu and Japanese women, low-risk populations, and Caucasian women, a high-ris...
متن کاملPlasma zinc in pre- and post-menopausal women: its relationship to oestrogen therapy.
1. The specific gravity and zinc concentration of plasma obtained during fasting were measured in preand post-menopausal women. A number of the latter had been taking 20-40 pg of mestranol daily for at least 1 year. 2. A highly significant correlation was found between plasma zinc concentration and plasma specific gravity in the oophorectomized women who were not receiving oestrogens. 3. The me...
