Cardiometabolic Protein Profile Changes During Gender‐Affirming Hormone Therapy: A Prospective Clinical Study

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk is elevated in transgender individuals during gender‐affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) with expected different mechanisms between T‐ and E2‐based GAHT. We investigated prospective changes in cardiometabolic proteins relating to complement, inflammation, and transport during GAHT.
