In parts:"[.]Ich selbst bin Chemiker und nicht Arzt und habe mich lediglich mit der Chemie und Biologie der Hormone befaßt. Dieses im voraus betont, würde ich von der Verwendung von Östrogen als Prophylaktikum gegen Herzinfarkt abraten.Die Reaktionsunterschiede bei der Frau vor und nach der Menopause sind ja nicht nur auf die Anwesenheit oder Abwesenheit eines Hormons zurückzuführen, sondern bedingt durch eine weitgehende Änderung der ganzen endokrinen Stoffwechsellage.[.]" Translated:"I myself am a chemist and not a doctor and have only dealt with the chemistry and biology of hormones. Having said this in advance, I would advise against using estrogen as a heart attack prophylactic.The differences in reaction between women before and after menopause are not only due to the presence or absence of a hormone, but are also due to a major change in the entire endocrine metabolism.".
