What this trial studies

This observational study aims to explore the impact of menopause on leukocyte distribution, monocyte function, and platelet reactivity in both men and women. It focuses on understanding how hormonal changes during menopause influence cardiovascular risk profiles and outcomes, particularly in relation to the protective effects of estrogen. Blood samples will be collected from participants to analyze the differences in blood cell behavior and hormone levels, with a specific emphasis on the effects of hormone replacement therapy. The study seeks to clarify the mechanisms behind the increased cardiovascular risks observed in women post-menopause.
