Abstract
Background and Aims : Energy metabolism is closely related to lipid profiles and sex hormones. Gender affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) can increase adiponectin and leptin levels in transgender females, while resistin levels are unaffected by GAHT. GAHT also increases triglycerides (TG) and total cholesterol (TC) in transgender females and males (Auer, JCEM 2018; Ott; J. Sex. Med. 2011). We examined the relationships among resistin, leptin, adiponectin, testosterone, estradiol, TC, HDL, LDL and TG within 4 gender identity groups.
