TLDR Lowering HER2 levels with certain drugs may reduce metabolic syndrome risk in women.
The study found that the use of renin-angiotensin system-targeting antihypertensive agents or statins significantly reduced serum HER2 levels in women. Additionally, higher serum HER2 levels were associated with an increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS), indicating that elevated HER2 could be an independent risk factor and a potential biomarker for MS in women.
