What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Menopause is a special period in a woman's life, when a sudden drop in estrogen levels leads to the cessation of menstrual cycles. Hormonal changes and a decreasing metabolic rate contribute to weight gain and the appearance of numerous metabolic disorders, such as dyslipidemia, impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, and type 2 diabetes.
