Recent studies have shown that estrogens alone or in association with progestins can exert an antioxidant effect on Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and lipids of platelet membranes. It has been demonstrated that the oxidative modification of LDLs also involving the formation of lipid peroxides, exerts several biological effects that may contribute to the onset and progression of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, the aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of short-term treatment with oral estrogens alone and estrogens plus progestin on endogenous and copper-induced serum levels of lipid peroxides in postmenopausal women.
