dc.description.abstractMenopause is the permanent cessation of mensturation due to loss of ovarian follicular function, which results in decreased production of estradiol and other hormones. Decreased levels of estrogen leads to variations in lipid profile leading to atherosclerosis thus by increasing risk of coronary artery disease in post menopausal women. The present study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between serum estradiol and lipid profile status in postmenopausal women to assess risk for coronary artery disease. Study includes 70 subjects, 30 healthy premenopausal women (25-40yrs) and the healthy postmenopausal women in the age group of (55 – 65yrs).Serum estradiol and lipid profile status were estimated in both cases and controls. Reduced estradiol (P0.0001) in post menopausal women and p value is highly significant for total cholesterol, triglycerides, low density lipoproteins. Conclusion: Thus the study outlines that the low levels of estrogen exerts a significant effect on the plasma lipids and lipoprotein metabolism. The risk of coronary artery disease increases in women after menopause.en_US
