Abstract

These results suggest that any increase in concentrations of lipoprotein(a), and other atherogenic lipids and lipoproteins which occur after the menopause, develops relatively slowly. The changes in concentrations which occurred within 8 weeks of surgery were probably an acute-phase reaction after surgery rather than a response to a decreasing estradiol concentration.
