The post-menopausal women described in this report were clinically considered to have hyperandrogenism due to the pathological pattern of marked body hair over the upper trunk. Treatment with GnRH was very effective at reducing the severity of the hirsuties. The post-menopausal women with hyperthecosis in this report had a high prevalence of cardiovascular disease. Since hyperandrogenism and insulin are considered risk factors for cardiovascular disease in premenopausal women with polycystic ovaries, we discuss the possible relationship between insulin and the post-menopausal ovary.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
