Description

In order to clarify the mechanism of osteogenesis and osteopenia of the menopausal women, serum [Ca2+ ], [P3+], AKP, sexual hormones and BGP level were investigated. The blood samples were taken from 177 female individuals who were divided into 5 groups based on different ages of menopause. Serum estradiol, testosterone and BGP were measured by RIA. Serum LH, FSH and PRL were determined by IRMA. Serum [Ca2+ ], [P3+], AKP were determined by biochemistry analytical methods. Results showed that serum E2 and T levels in the menopausal women were lower than those in the normal, E2 decreased significantly. Meanwhile, serum PRL level was only a little lower, but the menopausal female had the higher levels of LH and FSH. Conclusion: the most important cause of osteopenia for the menopausal women is the deficiency of estrogen and degeneration of ovarian function
