Popis: A system for evaluation of the ability of human blood serum to affect endothelial cell proliferation was developed and tested. The system based on incorporation of (3)H-thymidine into DNA was used to analyze the effects of hormone replacement therapy on endothelial repair and angiogenesis. Blood serum from 12 menopausal women less effectively activated endothelial proliferation compared to control donor serum. After 6-month hormone replacement therapy with Divina (a combination of estradiol and medroxyprogesterone), this index increased in seven female subjects (58.3%), but remained below the control level. The model proposed by us can be used in clinical practice and drug testing for evaluation of the influence of blood serum on vascular endothelium.
