Serum estradiol and serum estrone levels were assessed in 29 men in 14 men in whom myocardial infarction was ruled out; in 12 men without apparent coronary heart disease but hospitalized in an intensive care unit; and in 28 men who were not hospitalized and who acted as control subjects. (The 12 men
The relationship between endogenous estrogens and cardiovascular disease in menopausal women remains poorly understood. Studies examining the relationship have yielded conflicting results. Therefore, we performed this study to prospectively assess the effects of endogenous estrogen on the risk of
The relation between sex hormone levels and subsequent risk of a major coronary event was studied in a nested case-control study among 163 men in the Multiple Risk Factor Intervention Trial who later had a major coronary event and in 163 controls. Cases and controls were matched for age, serum
The association between serum levels of endogenous estrogens in postmenopausal women and the subsequent risk of coronary heart disease (CHD) was examined in a prospective case-control study nested within the New York University Women's Health Study (NYUWHS). The NYUWHS is a prospective cohort study
The low incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) in premenopausal women is partly ascribed to protection by endogenous estrogen production. As a consequence, we hypothesized that premenopausal women with low endogenous estrogen production or high androgen production might be at increased risk for
In a population-based study of 590 Rancho Bernardo, California men aged 30-79 years without a history of cardiovascular disease, and who were first surveyed in 1972-1974, current cigarette smokers had significantly higher mean endogenous androstenedione, estrone, and estradiol levels compared to
Myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury is a serious problem involved in cardiovascular diseases. There data which indicate that some steroids induce cardioprotective effects on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury; however their activity and the molecular mechanism involved on myocardial
The reason why men have a higher incidence of ischemic heart disease than women, and women rarely develop ischemic heart disease before the menopause, is not known. However, elevated plasma estradiol and estrone concentrations have been found in men surviving myocardial infarction. Hence,
Plasma concentrations and urinary excretions of various hormones and hormone metabolites were measured in four groups. Group 1 was composed of 13 men with prior myocardial infarction; Group 2 contained 35 clinically normal men; Group 3 consisted of 44 men with normal coronary arteriograms; and Group
BACKGROUND
Because of the beneficial effects of estrogen, premenopausal women are normally protected against coronary heart disease (CHD) and are at lower risk for myocardial infarction; consequently, CHD occurs very rarely in menstrually active women. Given this background, the aim of the present
We report two cases of stroke associated with the use of finasteride at 1 mg/day, which is approved in Japan for the treatment of male-pattern hair loss. The first case involved a 35-year-old male taking 1 mg of finasteride daily for 6 months to prevent male-pattern hair loss. He was taken to a
Postmenopausal women (PMW) have increased incidence of cardiovascular disease, and estrogen substitution therapy has been shown to have cardioprotective effects. Since abnormal growth of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) is associated with hypertension and myocardial infarction and estrogen inhibits
BACKGROUND
The detailed pathomechanism of Takotsubo syndrome (TS) is still elusive. Due to the predominance of postmenopausal females, a potential role of sex hormones has been suggested. However, the limited available data are contradictory. The aim of this study was to comprehensively assess the
