Effect of Hormone Therapy on Lipoprotein Subfractions in Early and Late Postmenopausal Women

CONCLUSION: HT effects on standard lipids and LPs are consistent with the literature. HT has similar effect on lipids and LPs in early and late PMW. Novel findings include discordant effects of HT on TG and VLDL particles, which can be explained by increased catabolism of atherogenic remnants of TG-rich lipoproteins. Our findings extend the well-known HT effects on standard lipids and LPs that may contribute to the beneficial effects on atherosclerosis progression in PMW.PMID:38547457 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae171
