May attenuate vascular reactivity in hypertensive rat models; leaves open translation to postmenopausal hypertension management.
Does estrogen supplementation modulate vascular adrenergic reactivity in female spontaneously hypertensive rats?
Estrogen reduces vascular adrenergic reactivity in female spontaneously hypertensive rats, suggesting a prejunctional mechanism that may protect against the full expression of hypertension.
Brandin et al. (2003) studied this question.
