  • Title: Adrenal steroids, bone mineral content and endometrial pathology in postmenopausal women.
    Author: Brody S, Carlström K, Lagrelius A, Lunell NO, Rosenborg L.
    Journal: Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand; 1981; 60(3):325-6. PubMed ID: 6267871.
    Abstract:
    In 19 postmenopausal women, basal serum levels of cortisol, unconjugated dehydroepiandrosterone (DHA), dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate (DHAS), testosterone and unconjugated and total estrone were measured both before and during an ACTH test. A positive correlation was found both between basal levels of DHAS and the DHA response to ACTH, respectively, and trabecular bone mineral content of the distal forearm. A significant correlation was also observed between bone mineral content and precancerous/cancerous states of the uterine epithelium.
