Roksana Karim,Wendy J. Mack,Roger A. Lobo,Juliana Hwang,Chao-ran Liu,Ci-hua Liu,Alex Sevanian,Howard N. Hodis +7 more
TL;DR: Although women randomized to estradiol showed improvement in all the markers of carbohydrate metabolism, these factors did not play a significant role in carotid IMT progression, and on-trial HDL-cholesterol and LDL-ch cholesterol were significant independent determinants of carotids IMT progress.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Age and Obesity on Serum Estradiol, Estrone, and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin Concentrations following Oral Estrogen Administration in Postmenopausal Women
TL;DR: It may be useful to consider age and obesity when prescribing HT to minimize the risk of venous thrombosis or stroke in postmenopausal women, as overweight and obese women using ET attain greater concentrations of estrogen compared to women with normal BMI, whereas ET users with abdominal obesity attain lower SHBG levels.
