The excretion profile of estrogens in menstruating women with normal cycles is reflected in either plasma estradiol-17 S or urinary levels. However, with clinical problems such as polycystic ovarian disease, the extraovarian production of estrogens is best evaluated using urine specimens.

Ascorbic acid 500 mg twice daily for one month caused a non-significant 21% increase in plasma estradiol levels in 25 postmenopausal women receiving transdermal estradiol HRT. However, in the 9 women with initially low estradiol levels, ascorbic acid doubled the levels, and this reached significance. ...

The effect of boron on plasma steroid hormones was examined further in a metabolic study by Beattie and Peace (1993). Utilizing a study design that tested the effect of boron per se, the authors found no effect on plasma estradiol or testosterone concentrations in postmenopausal women. The authors suggest that the lack of concordance between their results and the findings of Nielsen et al.
