The absence of estrogen, in males or after menopause in women, is independently associated with increased cardiovascular risk. 1 A number of factors have been implicated as the underlying cause, including effects at the cell-organ level (eg, inflammatory activation, increased oxidative stress, and increased vasoconstriction), 1 as well as changes in cardiovascular physiology (eg, sympathetic activation, increased blood pressure, and insulin resistance). All of these parameters are sensitive to modulation by sex steroid hormones, 1 particularly 17ß-estradiol, testosterone, and its more active metabolite, 5α-dihydrotestosterone, which is produced from testosterone by 5α-reductase. 1, 2 Testosterone is the main male sex steroid hormone but is also produced by women. 2 Testosterone is converted to 17ß-estradiol by aromatase in numerous tissues, including the vasculature and adipose tissue, representing an important local source of estrogen. 3 In obesity, aromatase-derived 17ß-estradiol formation may represent an important cause of feminization in males and the increased risk of estrogensensitive cancers in obese females. 3
