SerbiaA study published in the journal 'Molecular Human Reproduction' suggests that ovaries do not become completely inactive after menopause but instead take on a new role. The research, conducted by reproductive biologist Frančeska Dankan at Northwestern University in Illinois alongside a team of researchers in the US, examined mice and found that their ovaries continue to function beyond the reproductive period. The study observed changes in protein production and gene activity, indicating a shift towards immune-related processes rather than reproductive functions. These findings align with preliminary results from another study on 28 postmenopausal women, though this latter study has not yet undergone peer review. While mouse studies cannot fully explain human biology, they offer insights into potential roles of ovaries in aging and immunity.
