Oxidative stress plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Postmenopausal women have an increased risk of developing CVD due to decreased estrogen availability, which is accompanied by increased oxidative stress.

In this study, we aimed to establish serum levels of free thiols and explore associations between free thiols and demographic, clinical, and biochemical paramet ...[more]
