Endocrine function of the postmenopausal ovary: concentration of androgens and estrogens in ovarian and peripheral vein blood.
Abstract
The concentrations of testosterone, androstenedione, 17β-estradiol, and estrone were measured in peripheral and ovarian vein sera obtained at the time of surgery from 10 postmenopausal women undergoing bilateral oophorectomy. A higher ovarian than peripheral vein concentration was found for all hormones studied. The differences between ovarian and peripheral vein concentrations were 15-fold for testosterone (3033 ± 1046 pg/ml vs 198 ± 27 pg/ml, p <0.01); 4-fold for androstenedione (3455 ± 1330 pg/ml vs 754 ± 174 pg/ml, NS) and 2-fold for both 17β-estradiol (31.1 ± 6.3 pg/ml vs 14.6 ± 2.9 pg/ml, p < 0.05); and estrone (71.5 ± 13.3 pg/ml vs 30.3 ± 3.4 pg/ml, p < 0.05). It is concluded that the postmenopausal ovary continues to secrete a large amount of testosterone and a moderate amount of androstenedione. The small magnitude of the peripheral and ovarian vein estrogen differences could account for only minimal ovarian estrogen secretion.

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.
