Influence of Age and Obesity on Serum Estradiol, Estrone, and Sex Hormone Binding Globulin Concentrations following Oral Estrogen Administration in Postmenopausal Women
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 10/14/09
Karim R et al. – Overweight and obese women using ET attain greater concentrations of estrogen compared to women with normal BMI, whereas ET users with abdominal obesity attain lower SHBG levels. Obese older women using ET have the highest concentration of estrone. It may be useful to consider age and obesity when prescribing HT to minimize the risk of venous thrombosis or stroke in postmenopausal women.
