Abstract

Objective: To compare the effects of norethisterone acetate (NETA) and drospirenone on thyroid hormones, glisemic control, serum lipid profile and androgen levels. Material and methods: 50 postmenopausal women with intact ovaries & uterus who have vasomotor complaints but otherwise healthy were prospectively enrolled into the study and 41 of them completed the study. Patients were randomly divided into two groups and prescribed 1mg E2 / 0.5 mg NETA (n=21) or 1mg 17 ß E2 / 2 mg drospirenon (n=20) for 3 months. After the treatment thyroid hormones, glisemic control, lipid profile and androgen levels were compared both within the groups and between the groups. For the statistical analysis besides descriptive statistical methods paired and unpaired t test, Mann-Whitney U test and chi square test were used. Statistical significance level was accepted as p² 0.05. Results: There was no difference regarding body mass index (BMI), endometrial thickness and thyroid hormones both within the groups and between the groups after the treatment. Total cholesterol (p=0.03), insulin (p=0.009), Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) (p= 0.01) and fibrinogen (p=0.01) levels were decreased in NETA group after three months. In drospirenon group there was decrease in LDL cholesterol level (p= 0.02), increase in trigliseride level (p=0.04). There was decrement in total testosterone level in both NETA (p=0.0001) and drospirenon (0.001) groups. Conclusion: NETA have beneficial effects on both lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in postmenopausal women. Drospirenon decreases LDL cholesterol while increasing trigliseride level and has no effect on carbohydrate metabolism. Under the light of these data it is wise to suggest NETA containing low dose hormone therapy preparations in postmenopausal women with diabetes risk for controlling vasomotor complaints.

Özet

Amaç: Noretisteron asetat (NETA) ve drospirenonun tiroid hormonları, glisemik kontrol, serum lipid profili ve androjen seviyeleri üzerindeki etkilerinin karşılaştırılması. Gereç ve yöntemler: Çalışmaya uterus ve overleri intakt, vazomotor şikayetleri olan sağlıklı 50 postmenopozal kadın prospektif olarak dahil edildi, 41 kadın çalışmayı tamamladı. Randomize olarak iki gruba ayrılan olgulara 3 ay boyunca 1mg E2 / 0.5 mg NETA (n=21) ve 1mg 17 ß E2 / 2 mg drospirenon (n=20) verildi. Gruplar tedavi sonrası tiroid hormonları, glisemik kontrol, androjen ve kan lipid düzeyleri değişimleri açısından hem grup içi hem de gruplar arası değerlendirildi. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde tanımlayıcı istatistiksel metotların yanı sıra, bağımsız t testi, eşleştirilmiş t testi, Mann-Whitney U testi ve ki-kare testi kullanıldı. Sonuçlar, anlamlılık p ² 0.05 düzeyinde değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Vücut kitle indeksi (VKI), endometriyal kalınlık ve tiroid hormonlarında tedavi sonrası her iki grupta grup içi ve gruplar arası fark saptanmadı. 3 aylık tedavi sonunda NETA grubunda total kolesterol (p=0.03), insülin (p=0.009), Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) (p= 0.01) ve fibrinojende (p=0.01) düşüş gözlendi. Drospirenon grubunda ise LDL kolesterolde düşüş (p= 0.02), trigliseritte ise artış saptandı (p=0.04). Total testosteronda hem NETA (p=0.0001) hem de drospirenon grubunda (p=0.001) tedavi sonrası düşme oldu. Sonuç: NETA postmenopozdaki kadınlarda hem lipid hem de karbonhidrat metabolizmasını olumlu etkilemektedir. Drospirenon LDL kolesterolü düşürürken trigiseritleri arttırmaktadır, karbonhidrat metabolizmasına ise etkisizdir. Diyabet riski olan olgularda vazomotor semptomları gidermek için düşük dozlu NETA içeren hormon tedavisi (HT) tercih edilebilir.
