Abstract:
Objective: To investigate the changes of sex hormones in postmenopausal womem with impaired glucose tolerance(IGT).
Methods: Forty five postmenopausal womem were divided into two groups:impaired glucose tolerance group(
n=25) and normal group(
n=20).The fasting insulin(INS),testosterone(T),follicle stimulating hormone(FSH),lutenizine hormone(LH),estradiol(E
2) were measured by chemilumine immunoassay.
Results: Compared with that in nomal group,the levels of the fasting insulin,T,E
2,FLH,LH increased,and E
2 decreased in impaired glucose tolerance group.
Conclusions: The sex hormones are one of the perfect indexes showed the metabolic changes in postmenopausal womem with impaired glucose tolerance.
