Does short-term exposure to physiological levels of 17 beta-estradiol enhance endothelium-independent relaxation in porcine coronary artery?
These results demonstrate that short-term exposure to 17 beta-estradiol, at concentrations that have no effect on their own, can enhance vasorelaxation. These vascular effects may partly account for some of the acute effects of 17 beta-estradiol on blood flow.
There is no association between depressive symptoms and unrecognized glucose intolerance. However, it remains possible that diagnosed diabetes, with its attendant health concerns, management issues, and/or biological changes, may be a risk for subsequent development of depression. Thus, patients with newly diagnosed diabetes should be counselled appropriately and monitored for the development of depression.
