Research Finds Ovaries Remain Active Postmenopause
A recent study indicates that the ovaries remain biologically active for decades after menopause, continuing to remodel tissue structures and undergo protein changes, which raises questions about their role in aging and chronic diseases. Despite the cessation of their reproductive function, the ovaries exhibit changes associated with inflammation and immune activity. It is observed that certain proteins linked to cancer are more abundant in the ovaries of older women, suggesting a connection between healthy ovarian aging and ovarian cancer, without implying the necessity of removing healthy ovaries after menopause.
