BRD2 and cholesteryl ester measurement: 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.
