Urinary excretion of insulin after estradiol treatment of postmenopausal women.
The influence of estradiol treatment on the urinary excretion of insulin was investigated in postmenopausal women. Thirteen women were treated with transdermal estradiol and 12 with oral estradiol for 4 weeks. With transdermal, but not with oral administration, a significant increase of urinary insulin excretion was registered.
