Women are protected from cardiovascular disease as compared to age-matched men, an effect lost with age. Understanding protective factors that act in females could be used to treat hypertension, heart failure and stroke in males at all ages, and maintain protection in elderly women. Our studies aim to determine if relaxin, an ovarian hormone, can promote cardiovascular health in women.

与年龄匹配的男性相比，女性免受心血管疾病的保护，这种影响随着年龄的增长而失去。了解女性作用的保护因素可用于治疗所有年龄段男性的高血压，心力衰竭和中风，并维持老年妇女的保护。我们的研究旨在确定卵巢激素放松素是否可以促进女性心血管健康。
