The effects of oral estrogen therapy (ERT) on lipids and metabolic parameters are well known, in contrast to the effects of subcutaneously administered estrogen, particularly high concentrations of estrogen. We examined metabolic parameters in cohorts of women with and without subcutaneous estrogen therapy with concomitant supra-normal concentrations of estradiol (SE).
