Estrogen replacement in reproductive-age women should aim to mimic natural estrogen levels as closely as possible. E2 levels should be within the reference range for premenopausal women, LH/FSH should be within the normal range, and E2 levels should ideally be higher than E1 levels.
Jul 11, 2024 · Estradiol blood levels in your chart show up against a reference range with many variables. Normal ones differ based on menopausal status, menstrual cycle phase, hormonal contraceptive use, and menopausal hormone therapy (MHT).
Irregular or absent menstrual periods with normal or high E2 levels (and often high estrone: E1 levels) are indicative of possible polycystic ovarian syndrome, androgen producing tumors, or estrogen producing tumors.

Most of the disorders associated with metabolic syndrome don't have obvious signs or symptoms. One sign that is visible is a large waist circumference. And if your blood sugar is high, you might notice the signs and symptoms of diabetes — such as increased thirst and urination, fatigue, and blurred vision.
Metabolic syndrome is closely linked to overweight or obesity and inactivity.
It's also linked to a condition called insulin resistance. Normally, your digestive system breaks down the foods you eat into sugar. Insulin is a hormone made by your pancreas that helps sugar enter your cells to be used as fuel.
The following factors increase your chances of having metabolic syndrome:
•Age. Your risk of metabolic syndrome increases with age.
•Ethnicity. In the United States, Hispanics — especially Hispanic women — appear to be at the greatest risk of developing metabolic syndrome. The reasons for this are not entirely clear.
•Obesity. Carrying too much weight, especially in your abdomen, increases your risk of metabolic syndrome.
•Diabetes. You're more likely to have metabolic syndrome if you had diabetes during pregnancy (gestational diabetes) or if you have a family history of type 2 diabetes.
•Other diseases. Your risk of metabolic syndrome is higher if you've ever had nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, polycystic ovary syndrome or sleep apnea.
Having metabolic syndrome can increase your risk of developing:
•Type 2 diabetes. If you don't make lifestyle changes to control your excess weight, you may develop insulin resistance, which can cause your blood sugar levels to rise. Eventually, insulin resistance can lead to type 2 diabetes.
A lifelong commitment to a healthy lifestyle may prevent the conditions that cause metabolic syndrome. A healthy lifestyle includes:
•Getting at least 30 minutes of physical activity most days
•Eating plenty of vegetables, fruits, lean protein and whole grains
•Limiting saturated fat and salt in your diet
•Maintaining a healthy weight
•Not smoking
