	Post Menopausal Tests - Detail _________________________________________________________ Expanded Post Menopausal Panel Expanded Post Menopausal Panel - ePHP1 The ePHP1 is the new generation of saliva tests. It includes the 6 hormones of the PHP1 plus FSH and LH measurements. Clinical applications are the same as PHP1. Salivary LH &FSH The new generation of saliva tests for LH & FSH developed at Diagnos-Techs allows measurements 100-1000x more sensitive than routine serum/blood tests. By coupling levels of FSH to E2 and LH to P1, the sensitivity of the ovary to the gonadotropins can be objectively evaluated. As a woman approaches menopause, FSH and LH requirements to illicit the same E2 and P1, responses become higher. This relation has predictive diagnostic implications (see figure A on following page). It allows earlier intervention before clinical symptoms become evident. Bone loss concerns can be addressed predictively. Pro-active nutritional, hormonal, and therapeutic strategies can be tailored to each womans need. Furthermore, as the FSH/E2 and LH/P1 relations change with time, therapeutic modifications that reflect the changing needs are implemented. The FSH and LH measurements also allow detection of microadenomas of the pituitary gland. It is worth noting that stress (increased cortisol and ACTH) has significant adverse effects on LH and P1 production but minimal effects on FSH and E2. The imbalance induced by stress can lead to estrogen dominance with its proliferative statesFibroid and breast cyst growths, endometriosis aggravation, edometrical hypertrophy, etc.		Company Navigation ___________________________ Articles Brief Biography Contact Information Press Testimonials Whats New
