[Serum lipids in surgical and natural postmenopause].
Values of serum lipids in women of different estrogenic status were analyzed in this paper. A deficit of estrogen was established in groups of surgically induced and natural postmenopausal women, but a relatively preserved production of estrogenic hormones in the group of women with preserved ovaries and group of premenopausal women. Serum triglycerides, the total serum cholesterol and LDL fraction of cholesterol were highest in surgically induced premenopausal women, somewhat lower in natural postmenopausal women, while they were statistically significantly lower in premenopausal women and women with preserved ovaries. Values of HDL cholesterol did not statistically significantly differ in certain groups of women. Index of atherosclerosis (IA) was highest in surgically induced postmenopausal women (3.18), somewhat lower in natural postmenopausal women (2.99) and premenopausal women (2.64), while it was statistically significantly lower in women with preserved ovaries (2.57).
