난소는 사춘기 때는 20~40만 개의 난포를 가지고 있는데 임신과 생리를 반복하면서 난포폐쇄 과정을 통해 많이 소모되고 36세 이후에는 34,000개 정도로 숫자가 중고 폐경이 가까워지면 그 숫자가 남지 않게 된다. 따라서 여성호르몬을 만들어 내는 기능이 점점 약화 되는 것이다. 결국에는 생리가 멈추고 호르몬 저하로 오는 여러 가지 폐경 증상을 유발하게 된다.

Sex and its tropic hormones influence the lacrimal system, corneal anatomy and disease, aqueous humor dynamics and glaucoma, crystalline lens and cataract, and retinal disease. Dry eye occurs especially frequently during pregnancy, oral contraceptive use, and after menopause, during which androgen levels decrease. Androgen control development, differentiation, and lipid production of sebaceous glands throughout the body, and androgen deficiency also leads to meibomian gland dysfunction and evaporative dry eye. On the other hand, estrogen causes a reduction in size, activity, and lipid production of sebaceous glands. Sex and its tropic hormones also influence the corneal anatomy and disease, and corneal thickening occurred on the second day of the menstrual cycle and around the time of ovulation and appeared to be related to estrogen levels. Fuchs' dystrophy is more commonly seen in postmenopausal women than men and may be linked to hormonal changes that occur with aging. In addition, overexpression of estrogen and progesterone receptors in the conjunctiva of vernal keratoconjunctivitis patients. Serum progesterone levels also may be associated with intraocular pressure especially in pregnant women, and for the women. For women with cataracts, hormone levels were typical of menopause, and there was a significant negative correlation between estradiol and follicular stimulating hormone levels. In addition, serum testosterone levels are associated with the development of diabetic retinopathy. Although the role of sex hormones on the eye is largely unknown, and the results should be interpreted with caution until replicated, the functions of sex hormones in ocular disease remains to be investigated, because they may be involved in structure and function of the ocular components, which are important in the pathogenesis of ocular disease.

This study was tested growth hormone and fatigue materials after eight-week high-intensity interval exercise to middle aged women (40's~50's women) who have been obesity without other disease. Two group of 20 candidates were randomly divided 10 persons as exercise group and control group. Exercise was conducted 8 weeks 4 days 35 minutes, before the study each group was checked vital sign for fatigue materials. It showed the following results. First, it has been increased growth hormone level after exercise program compared each group, significantly. Secondly, it has been decreased fatigue materials due to the high-strength interval workout for 8 weeks compared control as significantly. As a result, eight-week high-intensity interval exercise could be increased growth hormone levels by reducing fatigue and it might be preventing fatigue materials levels. We would suggest that high-strength interval workout for 8 weeks could have a positive effect for preventing and reducing fatigue and related disease, obesity.

The purpose of this study was to observe self-reliance fitness and growth hormones in obese elderly women. Twenty-four females over the age of 65 years, who did not exercise regularly, were chosen as test subjects. All subjects were evaluated pre- and post-test. The results of this study were as follows; Results related to the experimental group revealed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores pre- and post-test in self-reliance fitness. Results related to the experimental group revealed that there were statistically significant differences between the mean scores pre- and post-test in growth hormone. Overall, participation in a 12-week combined exercise program had a positive impact on the self-reliance fitness and growth hormone in the obese elderly women. Based on the results of this study, obese elderly women are encouraged to participate in a combined exercises program on a regular basis.

The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of bicycling exercise by analyzing the changes of inflammation-related factors and growth hormone with obese middle-aged women for 8 weeks to identify the effects of bicycle exercise. In this study, 15 middle aged obese women were divided into exercise group and control group. Changes in inflammation-related factors and growth hormone were analyzed as a measurement variable were analyzed by employing two-way ANOVA with repeated measures. This study finds that $TNF-{\alpha}$ and IL-6 were significantly decreased in the exercise group and increased in the control group. Growth hormone was increased in the exercise group but not in the control group. The results of this study suggest that bicycling exercise is an exercise program to prevent cardiovascular and chronic diseases of obese middle-aged women.

The purpose of this study was to examine the changes of body composition and aging-related hormones by rhythmic exercise in elderly women. The subjects in this study were 20 olders living in a rural community, >60 years of age and were performed rhythmic exercise program during 12 weeks. The measurement of the body composition, body mass (t=3.125, p=.006), body mass index (t=3.225, p=0.004), body fat mass (t=3.782, p=0.001), waist-to-hip ratio (t=3.867, p=0.001) were significant difference after exercise program, but had no effect on lean body mass. Also, growth hormone (t=-2.221, p=0.039) and somatomedin-C (t=-9.186, p=0.000) were significantly increased after rhythmic exercise, however, rhythmic exercise had no effect on DHEA-S. These results suggest that rhythmic exercise appeared to effect of control on body composition and some aging-related hormones in elderly women.

Over the last several decades, the incidence of malignant melanoma has been increasing rapidly. The annual incidence rates have increased approximately 3~7% in Caucasian population. The rate of increase is highest in perimenopausal period in women. The relationship between risk of melanoma and female hormone is still unclear. The safety of hormone therapy for the melanoma patients is not known. We experienced a case of melanoma in whom underwent hormone therapy for 10 years. We report this case with a brief review of literature.

남성에 비해 여성 감염자가 상대적으로 적으나 이성간 성관계에 의한 감염이 주요 전파 경로가되면 여성에서의 감염이 점차 증가할 것이고 수직 감염 또한 증가할 것으로 보인다. 특히 남성 중심적인 우리 사회에서는 여성 감염인에 대한 집중적인 사회 경제적 도움이 필요하다.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether hormone levels change knee laxity in healthy females. Twenty three healthy females were recruited for the study. Serum estradiol and progesterone levels were recorded three times during the subjects' menstrual cycles. The first measurements were taken between day 3 and 7 of the follicular phase and the second data collection coincided with ovulation, 24 to 48 hours after the estrogen surge detected by an ovulation predictor kits. Based on a 28 day cycle, the third data collection occurred approximately 7 days later during the luteal phase. Knee joint laxity was recorded at the same intervals with a KT 2000 arthometer. Hormone levels and phases were compared to passive knee joint laxity with multiple regression analysis. Estradiol and progesterone levels differed significantly across the three tests. Knee joint laxity increased during ovulation. Based on a multiple regression analysis, estradiol and progesterone levels predicts 77.9% to 80.9% of the laxity at 20lb and 30lb loads. An antagonistic relationship between estradiol and progesterone was found when testing for knee laxity. Serum hormone levels have moderate power in predicting knee joint laxity. Individual hormonal profiling in female athletes would allow researchers to access the structural properties of the ACL, such as the laxity which may provide beneficial information to understand female ACL injury mechanism in sports activity.

당뇨병이 여성에게 특히 더 많이 생기는 것은 아니다. 하지만 남성과는 다른 당뇨병의 위험요소를 여성은 가지고 있다. 임신이 첫 번째 요인이요, 폐경후 호르몬 변화가 두 번째 요인이다. 이 때문에 당뇨가 있는 여성은 결혼 생활과 임신, 출산 등에 대하여 불안을 느끼고 걱정을 많이 한다. 그들의 고민을 들어보자.
