Hypothesis: pathogenesis of postmenopausal hot flush
Med Hypotheses.
1991 Aug.
Abstract
The pathogenesis of postmenopausal hot flush is still poorly understood. A hypothesis is presented where the perimenopausal decline in circulating estrogen levels may increase central norepinephrine and LH-RH secretion and produce a downward setting of the central thermostat resulting in a hot flush.
