An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for von Willebrand factor antigen (vWf-Ag) in canine plasma. Veterinary Immunology and Immunopathology 33, 145-154

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.
