Steroid secretion by the postmenopausal ovary.

Abstract:

:The concentrations of certain steroids in arterial and ovarian venous blood were measured in 42 postmenopausal women undergoing hysterectomy for uterine disease. A concentration gradient across the ovary was found for testosterone in 21 women, for androstenedione in 16, for estradiol in 15, for estrone in 8, and for dehydroepiandrosterone in 3. On the basis of postualated ovarian blood blow the gradient would result in a major contribution to the blood production rate for testosterone in about 50% of women and for estradiol in less than 20%. For androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone, and estrone the gradients did not signify important ovarian secretion. There was no evidence for secretion of dihydrotestosterone, estrone sulfate, or dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate. There were no apparent clinical correlates to indicate in which women the ovary was secreting steroids.
