Does estrogen replacement therapy improve visceral fat, apelin levels, lipid profiles, and glucose in ovariectomized rats?
Does estrogen replacement therapy improve visceral fat, apelin levels, lipid profiles, and glucose in ovariectomized rats?
Estrogen replacement therapy in ovariectomized rats significantly reduced body weight and BMI but did not significantly alter visceral fat, lipid profiles, or apelin levels.
Estrogen reduces weight/BMI in OVX rats without altering apelin or visceral fat; leaves open translation to menopausal therapy.
