Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: To compare the metabolic effects of two frequently used continuous hormone replacement therapies. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two hundred and forty-six menopausal women, aged between 41 and 57 years were enrolled in the present study. They were randomized to receive either estrogen + 2.5 mg medroxyprogesterone acetate (CEE/MPA) or 1 mg 17 <beta> estradiol + 0.5 mg norethindrone acetate (E2/NETA). Women in group I (n = 139) and group II (n = 107) were followed up for 1 year and compared with respect to total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL, VLDL, weight gain during this period. RESULTS: The basal and 12th month weight of the patients of two groups were not statistically different (P = 0.57 and P = 0.17, respectively, in the groups I and II). No changes were detected in the levels of triglycerides, HDL and VLDL, while total cholesterol (P = 0.01) and LDL (P = 0.003) levels significantly decreased in the CEE/MPA group. In group 2, total cholesterol and triglyceride levels showed no significant change, however, levels of HDL cholesterol (P = 0.001) increased and LDL (P = 0.001) and VLDL cholesterol (P = 0.006) decreased significantly. CONCLUSION: Administration of E2/NETA regimen has better results on lipid profile when compared to CEE/MPA regimen. No weight gain is recorded in E2/NETA group.
