New study finds ovaries continue to play strong role in later life stages

A new study recently published in the Aging Cell journal shows that ovaries matter much longer to the human body than originally believed. The study looked at a sample of 28 ovaries taken from women between the ages of 50 and 75 and found that many of the almost 6,000 proteins maintained consistent levels over the years. Other molecules that might act as signals to the body were also found, implying the ovary’s full-body impact continues even after menopause.
