title: [Effect of oestro-feminal on lipid metabolism in postmenopausal women].
abstract: The cessation of hormonal function of ovaries after menopause leads, among others, to changes of concentration of serum lipids and lipoproteins which may cause an increased risk for atherosclerosis. The purpose of the study was an evaluation of the effect of three- and six-month use of conjugated oestrogens on lipid metabolism in women after surgically induced menopause. Both after three and six months of treatment a reduction of intensity or abolition was found of the climacteric syndrome symptoms. After six months of substitutive therapy beneficial changes were observed in lipid metabolism (decrease of total and LDL-cholesterol levels, and increase of HDL-cholesterol level). Hormonal therapy may play a protective role and prevent the development of atherosclerosis in women after menopause.
