Menopause and diabetes: EMAS clinical guide
2018
Abstract Introduction Whether menopause increases the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) independently of ageing has been a matter of debate. Controversy also exists about the benefits and risks of menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) in women with T2DM. Aims To summarise the evidence on 1) the effect of menopause on metabolic parameters and the risk of T2DM, 2) the effect of T2DM on age at menopause, 3) the effect of MHT on the risk of T2DM, and 4) the management of postmenopausal women with T2DM. Materials and methods Literature review and consensus of experts’ opinions. Results and conclusion Metabolic changes during the menopausal transition include an increase in and the central redis…
Dydrogesterone use during pregnancy: Overview of birth defects reported since 1977
2009
Between 1977 and 2005, 28 cases of potential links between maternal dydrogesterone use during pregnancy and congenital birth defects were reported. The types of defects were very diverse, with no evidence of a pattern of abnormalities. The data do not provide evidence for congenital malformations associated with dydrogesterone use.
Long-term effects of oral and transdermal hormone replacement therapy on plasma homocysteine levels.
2003
Objective To compare the long-term effects of oral and transdermal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on serum homocysteine levels in postmenopausal women. Design An open, prospective, controlled study. Seventy-five healthy postmenopausal women were recruited as eligible for the study. Fifty women seeking HRT were randomized to receive continuous 17beta-estradiol, either by oral (2 mg daily; n = 25) or transdermal (50 microg daily; n = 25) administration, plus 10 mg dydrogesterone daily for 14 days of each 28-day cycle. Twenty-five women unwilling to receive hormone treatment received only calcium supplementation, representing the control group. Fasting blood samples were analyzed at baselin…
Resolution of mixtures of steroidal hormones with micellar eluents of sodium dodecyl sulphate and acetonitrile or pentanol
2000
An optimization strategy was applied to explore the capability of hybrid micellar eluents of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), using acetonitrile or pentanol as modifiers, to resolve mixtures of eleven steroids showing a wide range of hydrophobicity (clostebol acetate, dehydrotestosterone, dydrogesterone, medroxyprogesterone, medroxyprogesterone acetate, methandienone, methyltestosterone, progesterone, testosterone, testosterone enanthate and testosterone propionate). The accurate prediction of the retention behaviour of the steroids, with relative errors in the 0.8–1.7% and 0.4–2.9% ranges for SDS-acetonitrile and SDS-pentanol eluents, respectively, demonstrated the reliability of the methodo…
Menopause symptom management in women with dyslipidemias: An EMAS clinical guide.
2020
Abstract Introduction Dyslipidemias are common and increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. The menopause transition is associated with an atherogenic lipid profile, with an increase in the concentrations of total cholesterol (TC) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglycerides (TG), apolipoprotein B (apoB) and potentially lipoprotein (a) [Lp(a)], and a decrease in the concentration of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Aim The aim of this clinical guide is to provide an evidence-based approach to management of menopausal symptoms and dyslipidemia in postmenopausal women. The guide evaluates the effects on the lipid profile both of menopausal hormone therapy an…
