Plasma estrone sulfate levels in postmenopausal women. 1980

K D Roberts, and J G Rochefort, and G Bleau, and A Chapdelaine

Estrone sulfate levels were measured in the plasma of 63 postmenopausal women. The assay method involved prior extraction of the free estrogens, enzyme hydrolysis of the estrone sulfate with sulfatase and radioimmunoassay of the estrone liberated. The plasma levels ranged from 37 to 320 pg/ml (expressed as free estrone) with a mean value of 178 +/- 79 pg/ml. As observed in premenopause, estrone sulfate is quantitatively the most important circulating estrogen in postmenopausal women.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008593 Menopause The last menstrual period. Permanent cessation of menses (MENSTRUATION) is usually defined after 6 to 12 months of AMENORRHEA in a woman over 45 years of age. In the United States, menopause generally occurs in women between 48 and 55 years of age. Change of Life, Female
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D004970 Estrone An aromatized C18 steroid with a 3-hydroxyl group and a 17-ketone, a major mammalian estrogen. It is converted from ANDROSTENEDIONE directly, or from TESTOSTERONE via ESTRADIOL. In humans, it is produced primarily by the cyclic ovaries, PLACENTA, and the ADIPOSE TISSUE of men and postmenopausal women.
