Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Estrogen is known to affect lipoprotein metabolism, the haemostatic system and inflammatory markers. Our aim was to determine whether estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) PvuII and XbaI gene polymorphisms can influence lipid, haemostatic and inflammatory variables in healthy Caucasian women and men of reproductive age. METHODS: 58 healthy women (aged between 18 and 45 years) and 55 healthy men (aged between...
