Brief description Women before menopause are protected from cardiovascular disease. Estrogen is thought to provide this protection. Yet post-menopause estrogen replacement has not always proven beneficial. We are investigating the idea that estrogen within a narrow window modulates the hormone angiotensin (a major regulator of blood pressure) to lower blood presssure but outside this range (higher or lower) the benefits are lost.
