Hormone levels in a monkey with a supernumerary ovary (subject) compared with those of bilaterally ovariectomized (surgically menopausal) and ovary-intact monkeys
| Subject |
Bilaterally ovariectomized (n = 15) | Ovary-intact (n = 18) | ||
| Hormone | Before ovariectomy | After ovariectomy | ||
| Early follicular phase estradiol (pg/mL) | 15.35 (15.08–15.62) | 14.05 (9.64–18.46)a | 1.83 ± 0.98 (1.78)e | 14.80 ± 9.91 (13.74) |
| Mean luteal progesterone peak (ng/mL) | 18.53 (11.01–26.04) | 11.32 (9.99–12.65)b | <1.0e | 8.81 ± 5.39 (7.70) |
| AMH (ng/mL) | 16.87 (15.31–18.87) | 0.13 (0.13–0.13)ce | 0.20 ± 0.16 (0.15)e | 11.54 ± 10.32 (8.27) |
| FSH (ng/mL) | 1.45 ± 0.90 (1.31) | 26.29d | 15.16 ± 7.31 (15.01) | 1.50 ± 0.97 (1.30) |
Data represented as mean ± 1 SD (median) or, if 3 or fewer samples were available, as mean (range).
Early follicular phase estradiol measurements based on blood samples obtained 9 and 12 mo prior to necropsy (cycles 5 and 7 in Table 1).
Mean luteal progesterone peak measurements based on blood samples obtained 5 and 12 mo prior to necropsy (cycles 4 and 8 in Table 1).
AMH measurements based on blood samples obtained 17 and 19 mo prior to necropsy (cycle 1 in Table 1).
FSH measurements based on a single blood sample obtained 11 mo prior to necropsy (cycles 5 in Table 1).
