BACKGROUND
The protective effect of postmenopausal estrogen replacement therapy on coronary heart disease has been shown in several studies. However, the effect on stroke is more controversial, and data on estrogen-progestin combinations are sparse.
METHODS
A total of 23,088 women living in the
To assess the risks and benefits of menopausal hormone replacement therapy, we followed a 23,346-member, population-based cohort of Swedish women who were prescribed menopausal estrogens for an average of 8.6 years for mortality. Compared with the general population, the standardized mortality ratio
Studies have been performed in order to investigate the presence of estrogen-binding proteins in the human pancreas that may provide the biochemical basis for tissue-specific treatment of pancreatic carcinoma with estrogen-based cytotoxic drugs. Using in vitro techniques, an estrogen-binding
Synapse loss, deposits of amyloid beta-peptide (Abeta), impaired energy metabolism, and cognitive deficits are defining features of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Estrogen replacement therapy reduces the risk of developing AD in postmenopausal women. Because synapses are likely sites for initiation of
BACKGROUND
The risk of cardiovascular disease in uremic patients is greater in male than in female patients. Estrogens seem to play a cardioprotective role until menopause. Experimental data on the effect of estrogens on cardiovascular damage are controversial and potential underlying mechanisms
Bioidentical hormone therapy (BHT) uses bioidentical hormones (BHs), derivatives of plant extracts chemically modified to be structurally indistinguishable from human endogenous hormones. BHTs are available commercially or can be compounded into different dosages and for different routes of
Prolactin (PRL) and the placental hormones, estradiol (E2), estriol (E3), progesterone (PG), chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), and placental lactogen (HPL) were serially measured throughout pregnancy and early postpartum in three patients with prolactinomas in whom pregnancy was achieved by one of the
Wide rejection of conventional hormone therapy (HT) after the initial publication of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) led to unjustified use of custom-compounded bioidentical hormones. In the USA, it became an unregulated drug manufacturer industry in disguise, without proper control and making
Oral administration of conjugated equine estrogens (CEE) with and without the synthetic progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) in postmenopausal women is associated with side-effects that include increased risk of stroke and breast cancer. The current evidence that transdermal administration of
