Estrogen deficiency after menopause leads to characteristics changes in the hormonal profile, which may influence lipid carbohydrate and calcium-phosphate metabolism and some elements of homeostasis.To evaluate the influence of hormone replacement therapy with 2 mg estradiol valerate and 0,15 mg levonorgestrel on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in women after menopause during 12 months of follow-up. We examined 101 women, mean age 52.9 +/- 4.6 years (range from 44 to 65). HRT was applied in 67 women whereas 34 women were without treatment. All of them had no carbohydrate disturbances. All women underwent clinical examination, and body mass index (BMI), fasting blood glucose, insulin, total cholesterol and triglycerides levels were obtained. At 1 and 2 hours after 75 g glucose challenge (75OGTT) glucose and insulin levels were obtained. During hormone replacement therapy all women noted release or significant decrease of climacteric symptoms. Total cholesterol level was decreased, whereas triglycerides did not change. After 12 months of treatment there was also a significant decrease of all factors relating to carbohydrate metabolism--fasting glucose and insulin, insulin/glucose ratio and area under glucose and insulin curves. In our study--after 6 months of follow-up fasting insulin level, area under glucose and insulin curves were increased whereas fasting blood glucose level remained unchanged. Among women without HRT there were no significant changes in selected lipid parameters and BMI. Triglyceride levels decreased (albeit insignificantly) but, total cholesterol levels did not change. After 12 months glucose level did not change, although other carbohydrate parameters were increased. 1) In the study group there was a statistically significant decrease in total cholesterol levels whereas triglycerides remained unchanged. 2) HRT we significantly decreased of insulin resistance and fasting blood glucose levels as compared with non-group HRT. 3) The present results indicate HRT-induced improvement of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. 4) Long-term HRT is necessary to improve carbohydrate metabolism. |
