PPOF is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Untreated women are at higher risk for coronary disease, due to increase of total cholesterol, LDL, triglycerides and decrease of HDL. The aim of this investigation was to study effects of estro-progestagens on lipid and hormonal profiles in PPOF.:
