title: Transdermal absorption of estradiol in normal subjects and in patients with peripheral neuropathies.
abstract: The relationship of disturbed autonomic skin innervation to altered transdermal absorption in polyneuropathy is not yet clear. In this study we measured serum estradiol in 29 normals and 10 polyneuropathy patients to assess potential differences of estradiol uptake from different skin sites.
