| Popis: | Circulating concentrations of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) increase dramatically following both bilateral oophorectomy and the menopause. Thus, by definition, young women with hypergonadotropic amenorrhea should have premature ovarian failure (POF). This belief was based on the findings of Goldenberg et al. (1), who reported that without exception, individuals with FSH levels of greater than 40 mIU/mL 2nd IRP-hMG (International Reference Preparation-human menopausal gonadotropins) had no viable follicles on ovarian biopsy. |
