Abstract

Circulating levels (mean ± SD) of estrone sulfate (E1S), estrone (E1) and estradiol-17B (E2) were measured in normal and cirrhotic postmenopausal women matched for body weight and age. In cirrhotic postmenopausal women, the E1S concentrations (201 ± 46 pg/ml) were significantly lower than in the control group (303 ± 75 pg/ml), while both E1 and E2 levels showed an increase (46 ± 7 and 30 ± 8 pg/ml) compared to control subjects (32 ±6 and 18± 7 pg/ml). These data suggest that the liver plays an important role on the control of estrogen sulfation.
