Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Carol Wysham introduces the plenary session on cardiovascular health in women at the Endocrine Society. She announces the 2022 laureate award winners and highlights Dr. Lourdes Ibáñez as the recipient of the International Excellence in Endocrinology Award. Dr. Ibáñez is recognized for her exceptional contributions to the field of endocrinology, particularly in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and her commitment to improving care for adolescents and children in Latin America. Dr. Karl Patzik is also honored with the Outstanding Clinical Investigator Award for his significant contributions to understanding the pathogenesis and therapy of endocrine and metabolic diseases, specifically neuroendocrine tumors. Dr. Terry Smith receives the Gerald D. Auerbach Award for Outstanding Translational Research for his research on Graves' disease and its ocular manifestations, as well as the development of Tiprutumab, the first FDA-approved drug for the treatment of thyroid eye disease. Following the awards presentation, Dr. Barry Mertz discusses women's cardiovascular health and the importance of gender-based research and equity and inclusion in clinical trials and medical education. She highlights the role of estrogen receptor signaling in cardiometabolic health and disease, including the impact on insulin resistance and glucose disposal in the muscle, as well as the activation of the endothelium in atherosclerosis. Dr. Philip Schall presents his research on the role of the endothelial estrogen receptor in metabolism and the interaction between macrophages and the endothelium in atherosclerosis. He discusses the unexpected finding that the conversion of cholesterol to 27-hydroxycholesterol in macrophages promotes atherosclerosis and vascular inflammation. Dr. Schall also shares insights into the mechanisms underlying these processes and the potential for targeting these pathways for therapeutic interventions.
