Effects of oestrogen and progesterone on age-related changes in arteries of postmenopausal women

Abstract

1. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) with oestrogen or oestrogen plus progestin may have different effects on arterial structure and function. To examine this question, carotid artery intima-medial thickness (IMT) and indices of systemic and carotid arterial compliance were measured in groups of older men, postmenopausal women not on HRT (non-HRT) and those women on long-term HRT with oestrogen alone (HRT-E) or oestrogen plus progestin (HRT-EP). 2. Sixty men, 90 postmenopausal women taking HRT and 91 not taking HRT participated in the study. The groups were similar for age, body mass index, numbers of smokers, physical activity, alcohol intake and blood pressure. 3. Plasma total cholesterol was reduced and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol was increased in the HRT group compared with the non-HRT group; low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol, triglyceride and lipoprotein (a) values were similar in these two groups. Results for HRT-E and HRT-EP subgroups were similar. 4. Carotid IMT was significantly reduced in the HRT group compared with men and non-HRT groups. Results for HRT-E and HRT-EP subgroups were similar. 5. Mean systemic arterial compliance (SAC) was significantly greater in men than in women and was related to age; SAC...Continue Reading
