In Table 2, no significant changes in hematological and hormonal parameters can be seen, either in CE cases or in non-CE cases, except for the statistically significant increase in the levels of FSH and LH, which are mostly seen in perimenopausal cases; this may be due to the hormonal disturbance that occurs in them at this stage and because most of the biopsies were taken from older women. Here, PLOD1 is linked to cholesteryl ester measurement.
