Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 Hi Angelika, In simple words, it means that hypoestrogenism is a consequence of hyperprolactinemia. In Spanish you just say hiperestrogenismo " secundario a " hiperprolactinemia, but I don't know what your language pair is. Silvia Gómez silvia@...

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Hi, Of course " secondary " is no problem. What is interesting, if you think about it, is " hyperestrogenism secondary to hyperprolactinemia " . I believe no such thing exists. To my knowledge, estrogens levels are normal in cases of hyperprolactinemia.Should be the opposite, i.e. " hyperprolactinemia secondary to hyperestrogenism " . But, of course, we're only translators, so why bother ... Amicalement Jean-Francois Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Thank you, too. Wises ones are discussing if 'secondary' implies a causative relationship. I'll see what they agree upon... ----- Original Message ----- > Occurring as a consequence of. > > Dee > > Hennie Duits wrote: > > > Estrogen is thought to be cardioprotective in women and preliminary studies > > have suggested a link between hypoestrogenism *secondary* to > > hyperprolactinemia and cardiovascular system effects. > > > > Could somebody please explain what *secondary* is trying to tell me, here? > > (Like say it in different words?) > > > > Thank you, > > > > Hennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
