To demonstrate that hypoestrogenism in menopause is in part responsible for the decrease in circulating dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) and ACTH levels. To test this hypothesis, 25 postmenopausal women aged 47-60 years, were given orally conjugated equine estrogen (CEE) to study the effect on circulating DHEA-S, cortisol and ACTH.
