| Research Abstract |
The changes in estrogen and FSH during the menopausal transition were associated with increases in IL-8 and MCP-1 which were involved in the early stage of atherosclerosis. In addition, the change in testosterone was associatedwith the changes in adiponectin and NT-proBNP related to insulin sensitivity. These patterns in women with natural menopause were similar to those in women with GnRH agonist treatment. The changes during the menopausal transition may be associated with the occurrence of insulin resistance and atherosclerosis, partly be involved in the protective effect of these diseases.
