Usually estrogens are used for this purpose, but formulations and doses should be better defined in multicentric prospective studies. Some women started...

... in the arteriosclerosis process, and alterations in the risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Some of the earlier epidemiological studies indicated an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in estrogen users, but later on the majority of the published studies reported consistently a striking decrease...

.... Endogenous and exogenous hormones may be a major determinant of the cardiovascular risk in women. Premenopausal women have a considerably lower incidence of coronary heart disease than postmenopausal women, and estrogen therapy is associated with a reduced risk in the latter. Part of this protective effect...

... osteoporosis. On the contrary, changes in circulating CT levels appear to be secondary to the changes in bone turnover, whether in postmenopausal osteoporosis, after estrogen replacement therapy or in renal stone formers. We found a marked CT deficiency after thyroidectomy, radioactive iodine treatment...

...Laura Berta; Roberto Frairia; Nicoletta Fortunati; Annamaria Fazzari; Gianpiero Gaidano We evaluated serum pituitary hormones (prolactin, follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone), gonadal hormones (estrone, estradiol, progesterone), sex steroid binding protein (SBP) and urine estrogens...

...K.Y. Ho; A.J. Weissberger Gender and age have distinct and interrelated effects on GH secretion in adults. GH secretion falls significantly with aging, particularly in women. The fall in GH release is amplitude- rather than frequency-modulated and appears to be related to estrogen status. Oral...

Clinically obvious primary hyperparathyroidism is only curable by surgery. Medical treatment is debat­ able under other circumstances: mild chronic hypercalcemia, patients...

...S.W.J. Lamberts Estrogens prevent or diminish the sensitivity to dopamine of prolactin (PRL) secretion by cultured rat pituitary cells. Cultured tumor cells prepared from a transplantable rat PRL-secreting tumor were insensitive to dopamine and bromocriptine, while the antiestrogen tamoxifen...

... of estrogens and of testosterone enhance Sm-C secretion, and in adult menstruating women, a positive relationship is found between testosterone and Sm-C values. An inhibitory effect of estrogens on Sm-C is observed with higher doses and/or in older subjects. Thus, somatomedin levels might be modulated...

Chattoraj 6,7-Dideuterio-3-hydroxy-1,3,5(10)-estratrien-17-one (dideuterio-estrone) and 4-deuterio-1,3,5(10)-estratriene-3,17 β -diol (monodeuterio-17 β -estradiol) were used for the estimation of estrogen production rates in pre- and post-menopausal women...

... was unaltered while plasma FSH decreased. Aminoglutethimide increased adrenal and ovarian but not pituitary weight while the antibody had no effect. Since little DHA is present in rat plasma and adrenal and since only estrogens have any effect on the onset of puberty, it is likely that the adrenal...

.... The perfusion of 60 µ C i 3 H-epinephrine to ratspregnant for 21 days resulted in a significant accumulation of the tracer in the fetal heart. This accumulation was markedly declined by pre-administration of progesterone, estrogens, and oxytocin in the pregnant rats and by maternal adrenalectomy...

...P. Burckhardt; B. Ruedi; J.P. Felber A 35-year-old woman experienced tetanic symptoms when treated with chorionic gonadotrophins or estrogenic oral contraceptives.
