Abstract
A study of serum lipid fraction changes in 15 estrogen-treated patients with carcinoma of the prostate is conducted. Estrogen therapy is known to be associated with cardiovascular complications. certain serum lipid fraction changes, particularly elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and decreased high-density lipoprotein (HDL), are known to increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases. In our study, decrease in total cholesterol, increase in triglycerides, decreased LDL, and LDL/HDL ratio in combination with elevated HDL fraction suggest that the lipid changes are not the mediators of above complications.Entities:
