Abstract

Hormone replacement therapy and metabolic syndrom

After publication of the WHI study in 2002 there was a critical, public discussion about risk and benefit of this issue. Especially a slightly increase of breast cancer diagnoses was discussed.The positive metabolic effects of HRT have been kept out of the discussion.The article gives an overview of beneficial effects on blood pressure, glucose and fat metabolism and an overview of a differentiated individualized therapy.
