Women and lipoprotein apheresis: another side of gender medicine.
Aim: In heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) woman atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease occurs 20-years earlier respect woman without FH while homozygous FH women may suffer from atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease even in childhood. Lipoprotein apheresis, a therapeutic "last chance saloon", is a well-tolerated procedure that markedly lowers LDL-cholesterol and Lp(a) levels in patients who do not achieve acceptable levels with maximal lifestyle and drug therapy.
Methods and results: The experience of LA treatment in 3 female homozygous FH patients was described. Moreover, an explore analysis on pre and post-LA hormonal levels was performed in 8 HeFH women showing a significant improvement in the atherogenic lipid profile (total cholesterol -56%, LDL cholesterol -71%, triglycerides -72%, Apo B lipoprotein -69%, Lp(a) -59%;) and a reduction of FSH and LH values (FSH - 28%, LH -31%).
Conclusions: Women with FH experience specific barriers to care, including underrepresentation in research, significant underestimation of risk, and discontinuation of therapy during pregnancy. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the possible effects of LA treatment on plasma FSH and LH levels.
期刊介绍：
Well-established as a major journal in today’s rapidly advancing experimental and clinical research areas, Endocrine publishes original articles devoted to basic (including molecular, cellular and physiological studies), translational and clinical research in all the different fields of endocrinology and metabolism. Articles will be accepted based on peer-reviews, priority, and editorial decision. Invited reviews, mini-reviews and viewpoints on relevant pathophysiological and clinical topics, as well as Editorials on articles appearing in the Journal, are published. Unsolicited Editorials will be evaluated by the editorial team. Outcomes of scientific meetings, as well as guidelines and position statements, may be submitted. The Journal also considers special feature articles in the field of endocrine genetics and epigenetics, as well as articles devoted to novel methods and techniques in endocrinology.
Endocrine covers controversial, clinical endocrine issues. Meta-analyses on endocrine and metabolic topics are also accepted. Descriptions of single clinical cases and/or small patients studies are not published unless of exceptional interest. However, reports of novel imaging studies and endocrine side effects in single patients may be considered. Research letters and letters to the editor related or unrelated to recently published articles can be submitted.
Endocrine covers leading topics in endocrinology such as neuroendocrinology, pituitary and hypothalamic peptides, thyroid physiological and clinical aspects, bone and mineral metabolism and osteoporosis, obesity, lipid and energy metabolism and food intake control, insulin, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, hormones of male and female reproduction, adrenal diseases pediatric and geriatric endocrinology, endocrine hypertension and endocrine oncology.
