The effects of estrogen replacement therapy on the cardiovascular system have been debated for a while. Elevated levels of homocysteine even to a mild or moderate degree have been associated with an increased risk for CVD. A recent meta-analysis revealed a graded and linear relationship between increased cardiovascular risk and elevated homocysteine levels. (Yuksel et. al, 2011). Estrogen replacement was given to the surgically induced menopausal women evaluating the levels of homocysteine. A total of 45 women were given estrogen orally or subcutaneous. Yukel et. al, states that a growing body of evidence suggests that different types of estrogen, different doses and routes of delivery as well as different populations treated with post-menopausal HRT may result in a different risk benefit profile. Using the different routes of estrogen administration allows the study to have different baselines. Blood samples were taken 15 weeks after the estrogen therapy was started. The levels of homocysteine remained neutral during the treatment. The blood samples did not show an increase or a decrease. Estrogen therapy does not affect the levels of homocysteine, which indicates no changes in the cardiovascular system. Another group of…

Previous research has shown that a concentration of 25 ng/L of estrogen (specifically 17-β estradiol) can cause kidney impairment, necrosis, liver damage, reproductive impairment and feminization to fish (Duff, 2005). Other studies have shown that men exposed to exaggerated levels of estrogens have a 50% reduction in sperm counts (Jensen, 1995). Tyrone Hayes has also shown in many independent studies…
