TL;DR: Estrogen alone or in combination with a progestin improves lipoproteins and lowers fibrinogen levels without detectable effects on postchallenge insulin or blood pressure and in women with a uterus, CEE with cyclic MP has the most favorable effect on HDL-C and no excess risk of endometrial hyperplasia.

TL;DR: EE attenuates abnormal coronary vasomotor responses to acetylcholine in postmenopausal women and these acute effects of estrogen on coronary vasoreactivity may explain, in part, the cardioprotective effects ofosterone in post menopausal women.

TL;DR: Combining CEE with cyclic or continuous MPA or cyclic MP protected the endometrium from hyperplastic changes associated with estrogen-only therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Treatment of premenstrual dysphoric disorder with a new drospirenone-containing oral contraceptive formulation
TL;DR: Drospirenone/EE, given in a 24/4 regimen, was superior to placebo for improving symptoms associated with PMDD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alcohol and caffeine consumption and decreased fertility
TL;DR: The results suggest that women who are attempting to conceive should abstain from consuming alcohol and that caffeine consumption did not independently affect the probability of conception but may enhance alcohol's negative effect.
