Wide distribution of the serum dehydroepiandrosterone and sex steroid levels in postmenopausal women: role of the ovary?
Abstract
In Brief Objective: Because the exclusive source of sex steroids (at least estrogens) after menopause is recognized to be dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), this study examines the interindividual variability of serum DHEA and its metabolites as well as the contribution of the ovary to global sex steroid physiology in postmenopausal women. Methods: Serum levels of DHEA and 11 of its metabolites were measured by gas or liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry in 442 intact and 71 ovariectomized postmenopausal women aged 42 to 74 years. Results: With a mean ± SD concentration of 2.03 ± 1.33 ng/mL, serum DHEA in intact postmenopausal women is highly variable with 5th and 95th centiles at 0.55 and 4.34 ng/mL, respectively, for a 7.9-fold difference. A comparable variability is observed for the 11 metabolites of DHEA. The 22.3% higher serum DHEA in intact compared with ovariectomized women is accompanied by parallel differences for all the other steroids, thus indicating that all sex steroids originate from circulating DHEA in postmenopausal women with no direct secretion of active estrogens or androgens by the postmenopausal ovary. Conclusions: The 7.9-fold difference between low and high serum DHEA levels provides an explanation for the lack of signs of hormone deficiency in some women, whereas most of them have symptoms or signs. The approximately 20% contribution of the ovary to the total pool of DHEA with no direct secretion of estrogens or androgens in the circulation could possibly explain the reported negative effect of oophorectomy on longevity, especially from coronary heart disease events. Measurement of 11 metabolites of dehydroepiandrosterone in intact and oophorectomized women further indicates that the postmenopausal ovary does not secrete significant amounts of estradiol or testosterone but that it secretes about 20% of total circulating dehydroepiandrosterone, with 80% being of adrenal origin in that age group.

80% of the circulating DHEA in postmenopausal women is of adrenal origin with the remainder produced by the ovary.
“Nonetheless, 80% of the circulating DHEA in postmenopausal women is of adrenal origin with the remainder produced by the ovary (Labrie et al., 2011).”

While ovarian steroidogenesis demonstrates a menstrual cycle-dependent profile in premenopausal women, the absence of ovarian follicles in the postmenopausal ovary significantly reduces the production of oestrogens.
“While ovarian steroidogenesis demonstrates a menstrual cycle-dependent profile in premenopausal women (Barbieri, 2014), the absence of ovarian follicles in the postmenopausal ovary significantly reduces the production of oestrogens (Labrie et al., 2011).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
