Our data provide evidence for the existence of increased (3/4 of subjects) and reduced (1/4 of subjects) NOx levels in response to HRT, which suggest that a significant number (but not all) of the HRT receiving postmenopausal women profit from the beneficial effects of HRT.

Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the changes of plasma nitrate/nitrite (NOx) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in postmenopause in comparison with premenopausal state and assess the effects of different hormone replacement regimens on these vasoactive substances. Materials and methods: The study involved 50 healthy postmenopausal (PMW), and 25 healthy premenopausal women. PMW were randomly divided into two subgroups: women receiving cyclic hormone replacement therapy (HRT) [0,625mg conjugated estrogen (CEE) from day 1 to day 28 + 5mg medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) from day 18 to day 28] (n=25); second subgroup consisted of women receiving continuous HRT [0.625mg CEE + 2,5mg MPAfrom day 1 to day 28] (n=25) for two months. Statistical significance was analysed by Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon signed ranks, and Spearman correlation tests.Results: Compared with premenopausal individuals, PMW have decreased NOx and increased ET-1. There is a positive correlation between NOx and ET-1 in premenopausal women, suggesting that there is a balance between NOx and ET-1. This balance is changed with menopause. Two month durated HRT significantly elevates NOx that is diminished with menopause and does not change ET-1, thereby improves the NOx/ET-1 balance.Conclusion: Continuous HRT is more successful than cyclic HRT in improving the endothelial function and maintaining the critical balance between NOx and ET-1. Our data provide evidence for the existence of increased (3/4 of subjects) and reduced (1/4 of subjects) NOx levels in response to HRT, which suggest that a significant number (but not all) of the HRT receiving postmenopausal women profit from the beneficial effects of HRT.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı menopoz sonrası (postmenopozda) plazma nitrat/nitrit (NOx) ve endotelin-1 (ET-1) düzeylerinde meydana gelen değişiklikleri, ve farklı hormon replasman tedavilerinin (HRT) bu vazoaktif maddeler üzerindeki etkisini incelemekti. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya 50 sağlıklı postmenopozal (PMW) ve 25 sağlıklı premenopozal kadın dahil edildi. Postmenopozal kadınlar rastgele iki alt gruba ayrıldı: siklik HRT ve kesintisiz HRT alan alt gruplar. 1. grup (siklik HRT) 2 ay boyunca siklüsün 1-28 günleri arasında 0,625mg konjuge estojen (CEE) + 18-28 günleri arasında 5mg medroksiprogesteron asetat (MPA) alan kadınlardan oluşturuldu. 2. grup (kesintisiz HRT) ise 2 ay boyunca siklüsün 1-28 günleri arasında 0,625mg CEE + 2,5mg MPAalan kadınlardan oluşturuldu. Sonuçların istatiksel değerlendirilmesinde Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U, Wilcoxon signed ranks, ve Spearman korelasyon testleri kullanıldı.Bulgular: Premenopozal olanlara kıyasla postmenopozal kadınlarda NOx konsantrasyonları azalırken, ET-1 kon- santrasyonları artmaktadır. Premenopozal kadınlarda NOx ve ET-1 arasında görülen pozitif korelasyon, bu iki parametre arasında bir denge olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu denge menopozda değişmektedir. İki aylık HRT menopozla azalan NOx'nın artmasına neden olurken, ET-1 üzerine bir etkisi yoktur, böylece HRT NOx ve ET-1 arasındaki dengeyi düzenlemektedir. Siklik HRT'ye kıyasla kesintisiz HRT endotel fonksiyonu ve NOx/ET-1 arasındaki kritik dengenin sürdürülmesinde daha başarılı olduğunu söyleyebiliriz.Sonuç: Sonuçlarımızdan da görüldüğü gibi, HRT'ye cavaben postmenopozal kadınların bir kısmında (3/4) plazma NOx düzeyleri artmakta, bir kısmında ise (1/4) azalmaktadır; bu da, hepsi olmasa da postmenopozal kadınların çoğunun HRT'nin pozitif etkilerinden yararlandığını söyleyebiliriz.
