HMR 3339, a novel selective estrogen receptor modulator, reduces total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and homocysteine in healthy postmenopausal women Tatjana E.

FIGURE 1 Trial profile of the study. Total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides, and Lp(a) were determined in the total group of 118 women, whereas homocysteine and endothelin-1 were determined in a subgroup of 96 women (numbers at baseline: placebo: n = 17; HMR 2.5: n = 20; HMR 10: n = 20; HMR 50: n = 20; and Rlx 60: n = 19). N = number of participants; HMR 2.5 = HMR 3339 2.5 mg; HMR 10 = HMR 3339 10 mg; HMR 50 = HMR 3339 50 mg; Rlx = raloxifene 60 mg.

FIGURE 2 Mean of the individual percentage change from baseline in total cholesterol concentrations in the five study groups at week 4 and at week 12. The t test for between-group differences: *P<.05, **P<.01, ***P<.001. HMR 2.5 = HMR 3339 2.5 mg; HMR 10 = HMR 3339 10 mg; HMR 50 = HMR 3339 50 mg; Rlx = raloxifene 60 mg.
