Abstract

Our study demonstrates that tamoxifen, when administered to postmenopausal women at a conventional dosage, reduces LDL levels and protects LDL from oxidation. The protective effect of tamoxifen against the development of breast cancer in women considered at risk is being investigated in a placebo-controlled trial sponsored by the National Institutes of Health. Whether tamoxifen also protects against the development of cardiovascular disease in this trial is also of considerable interest.
