Effect of hyperlipidemia in the atherosclerotic patients on sex hormones

Abstract EN

The current study was designed to explain the relationship of testosterone and estradiol levels with the serum lipid profile alteration .

It has included the measurement of serum testosterone and estradiol levels in healthy subjects (40 males and 43 post – menopausal females) , atherosclerotics male (40) and post – menopausal (41) atherosclerotic females .

Serum triglyceride , cholesterol , HDL- cholesterol , LDL- cholesterol and VLDL- cholesterol were also estimated in those individuals .

The results revealed significant (p < 0.05) elevation of serum estradiol level in atheroselerotic males when compared with those of the control group,Estradiol also was found decreased significantly (p <0.05) when testosterone levels indicated a significant (p < 0.05) in atherosclerotic post-menopausal female when compared with control group .

The results identified the details of serum lipid profile changes in conditions of different levels of sex steroids
