This paper investigates associations between genetic and exogenous estrogen exposure and cardiovascular disease risk in women using GWAS and register-based hormone data.

The paper analyzes HDL lipid and protein composition in pre-, peri-, and postmenopausal women, finding distinct differences in particle size and composition during perimenopause.

The paper examines how the menopausal transition affects the skeletal muscle transcriptome in women, identifying differentially expressed genes and regulatory networks linked to body composition changes.

The paper shows that extracellular vesicles and HDL particles have distinct small RNA content, and estrogen deficiency reduces exercise-induced miR responses in both.

The paper examines nc886 methylation across populations and tissues, finding stable levels except in specific tissues and some discordance in dizygotic twins.
