Women generally have a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, this protection of gender diminishes rapidly after menopause and with advancing age, particularly in obese women. Alterations in vascular function are thought to a key early step in the development of atherosclerosis. In this review, we will describe the features of endothelial dysfunction in the post-menopausal obese female and discuss the interplay of aging, estrogen withdrawal, and obesity. The objectives include (1) a review of endothelial biology and endothelial dysfunction, and (2) a discussion how the endothelial function is altered in the context of aging, hormonal changes and insulin resistance. The clinical consequences of endothelial dysfunction and CVD will also be reviewed. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
