In a healthy blood vessel, E2 is a potent vasodilator via nitric oxide production; it also mediates inflammation and oxidative stress [81]. Short-term perturbations in E2 might influence blood flow via disturbed endothelial function and low E2 associated with menstrual dysfunction has been linked ...
Venous blood samples were collected to measure ALT, AST, gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT), and creatinine levels. In accordance with previous studies, ALT > 40 U/L and GGT > 50 U/L were determined as elevated, AST/ALT ratio < 1 was regarded as low, and CKD was defined ...
