Abstract
A pooled homogenate of the pituitary glands of 6 postmenopausal women contained 600 units of FSH and 200 units of LH per pituitary, a ratio of 3/1. A comparison is given of the concn. and total amt. of FSH and LH in the pituitary of man at several major stages of the life span. The increase in total gonadotropic activity of the pituitary of the postmenopausal woman appears to be due mainly to an increase in FSH content.Keywords
