Objective: To determine the effect of estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) on serum androgen levels in postmenopausal women.Methods: We measured serum dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), DHEA-sulfate, testosterone, estradiol (E2), LH, FSH, and sex hormone binding globulin in 8:00 AM fasting serum samples from a previous randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled crossover study in which 28 postmenopausal women (27 naturally menopausal) were given 2 mg/day of oral micronized estradiol. The treatment arms were 12 weeks with a 6-week washout.Results: Estrogen replacement therapy raised mean (+/- standard error of the mean [SEM]) serum E2 from 8.7 +/- 1.0 to 117 +/- 18.7 pg/mL (P
