Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Induces Postmenopausal Dyslipidemia Through Inhibiting Hepatic Cholesterol Metabolism.

Context: The elevated low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) in menopausal women is associated with higher risks of cardiovascular diseases.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the influence and mechanism by which high postmenopausal FSH levels affect lipid profiles.

Methods: The serum FSH and lipid levels were examined in 400 Chinese postmenopausal women.

Correlation analysis for follicle-stimulating hormone and C-terminal cross-linked telopetides of type i collagen in menopausal transition women with osteoporosis.

The sudden drop in estrogen in post-menopausal women can lead to osteoporosis. About one in three women aged more than 50 years experienced an osteoporotic fracture. The aim of this study is to explore function of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) in bone metabolism and osteoporosis in menopausal transition women.

[Correlation between follicle-stimulating hormone and total procollagen I N-terminal propeptide in perimenopausal women].

Objective: To investigate the correlation between serum levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and total procollagen I N-terminal propeptide (TP1NP) in perimenopausal women.

Methods: Total 274 women aged 33~60 y with perimenopausal period were enrolled in this study. Serum levels of FSH and TP1NP were detected by electrochemiluminescence.
