Long term influence of different postmenopausal hormone replacement regimens on serum lipids and lipoprotein(a): a randomised study

Abstract

Oral and to a lesser extent transdermal oestradiol when sequentially combined with dydrogesterone, showed a beneficial influence on serum lipids regarding the cardiovascular disease risk, which was not seen with tibolone. The significance of Lp(a) levels on cardiovascular disease risk remains to be determined.
