From the authors: “To our knowledge, this is the first study to report sex-specific detrimental effects of chronic estrogen on human microvascular reactivity. These findings may offer insight into the increased [cardiovascular disease] risk associated with estrogen use in both cis- and trans-females.”
This study is highlighted as one of March’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society’s APSselect program.
