Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A total of 46 early postmenopausal women with elevated levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density lipid (LDL) cholesterol and lowered high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) cholesterol was treated with spleen dialysate (Solcosplen), 2 x 2 tablets daily for 6 months. Serum estradiol levels rose from 42.3 +/- 15.4 pg/ml to 60.6 +/- 23.6 pg/ml and the Kupperman Index decreased significantly after 6 months of treatment. Also, a significant decrease of total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, and an increase of HDL cholesterol was observed. The changes showed no correlation with the estradiol concentration and no side-effects were evident. Solcosplen is recommended as a beneficial therapy for women in the early postmenopause.
