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).

a

Early follicular phase estradiol measurements based on blood samples obtained 9 and 12 mo prior to necropsy (cycles 5 and 7 in Table 1).

b

Mean luteal progesterone peak measurements based on blood samples obtained 5 and 12 mo prior to necropsy (cycles 4 and 8 in Table 1).

c

AMH measurements based on blood samples obtained 17 and 19 mo prior to necropsy (cycle 1 in Table 1).

d

FSH measurements based on a single blood sample obtained 11 mo prior to necropsy (cycles 5 in Table 1).

e

Below the level of detection.
