The effects of conjugated oestrogens 0.625 mg and placebo on adrenal and pituitary hormones were compared in 10 postmenopausal women during their sleep by means of double blind prospective crossover study. On placebo, the women had nocturnal variations in LH, prolactin and cortisol concentrations. However, oestrogen administration selectively blunted LH and prolactin changes, but not the rise in cortisol.
