Filter by:This is cross-over, randomized clinical trial, with objective to evaluate the effects of low-dose oral hormone therapy and non-oral hormone therapy on endothelial function markers (fibrinogen, von Willebrand factor, c-reactive protein), natriuretic peptide and on anthropometric, metabolic and hormonal variables in early and healthy postmenopausal women and analyzing polymorphisms in the estrogen receptor gene and FTO polymorphisms Patients will be randomized to receive oral hormone treatment or non-oral hormone treatment The investigators hypothesis is that a different genotypes in the receptor estrogen gene and FTO may have an influences on treatment response in metabolic markers and cardiovascular risk
Alleged benefits experienced by the consumption of soy in Asian countries have been attributed to the isoflavone content of soy products. Amongst other benefits, isoflavones are believed to relieve menopausal symptoms and are therefore often consumed in supplement form in Western countries. These supplements contain relatively high amounts of isoflavones, and the question is if these concentrations still exert beneficial effects or whether negative effects become dominant. Therefore, the investigators will study the effect of intake of one dose of isoflavones, as compared to placebo, for eight weeks on gene-expression in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) in post-menopausal, equol-producing women.
For patients receiving Faslodex 500 mg, to compare the effectiveness in terms of Time to Progression (TTP) as a function of the line of treatment (i.e. 1st vs. 2nd vs. 3rd line). For all patients, to collect and explore real-life data on the epidemiology and management of Pseudomyxoma Peritonea (PMP) patients with HR+ advanced breast cancer (ABC) treated with Faslodex 500 mg or exemestane.
The specific aims of this study are: 1. To develop a breathing training protocol specifically designed to improve HRV and psychosocial functioning for postmenopausal women with depressive symptoms, 2. To examine the immediate effects of an 8-week breathing training program on HRV and psychosocial end points in postmenopausal women with depressive symptoms, 3. To examine the intermediate-term effects of an 8-week breathing training program on HRV and psychosocial end points in postmenopausal women with depressive symptoms, and 4. To determine whether the change in depressive symptoms with breathing training in postmenopausal women is associated with the change in HRV.
Aim of this NIS is to obtain further information on efficacy, tolerability, and acceptance of Wellnara in a large user population under the conditions of routine medical practice. Furthermore, any adverse drug reactions will be recorded in a large user population under the conditions of medical routine. To investigate the efficacy of Wellnara, patients will fill in a questionnaire, the so-called Menopause Rating Scale (MRS II). Further, the effects of treatment on skin and hair will be evaluated by the investigator. Patients will assess treatment effects on their sexual life. Safety parameters include monitoring of vaginal bleeding, measurement of blood pressure and body weight, and - as far as routinely used in the practice - calculation of waist-hip-ratio. Any relevant additional information related to adverse drug reactions will also be documented.
The study is a randomised placebo controlled double-blinded clinical trial where a group of healthy pre- and postmenopausal women is randomised to the intake of fish oil capsules or placebo oil capsules for 12 weeks. Anthropometric measurements(weight, height,blood pressure) blood samples and adipose tissue biopsies will be taken in order to illustrate the effect of marine n-3 PUFAs (fish oil) on the concentration of circulating female hormones and to investigate what impact menopause might have on the ability to incorporate marine n-3 PUFAs into tissues.
This study will develop a model for the assessment of successful activation/engagement of estrogen receptor beta using salivary biomarkers.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, breakdown and elimination in the body) of a single dose of bazedoxifene (BZA) 20 mg tablet when administered together with multiple doses of Premarin (conjugated estrogens or CE) to healthy postmenopausal women. Information will also be obtained regarding the safety and tolerability of this combination in healthy, postmenopausal women.
Bazedoxifene (BZA) 20 mg tablet is an investigational medication (not approved by FDA) which is being studied for possible prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. PREMARIN® (conjugated estrogens [CE]) is approved by FDA to treat moderate to severe symptoms of menopause (i.e., hot flashes, and/or vulvar and vaginal atrophy) and for the prevention of postmenopausal osteoporosis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (absorption, distribution, breakdown and elimination in the body) of a single dose of PREMARIN® when administered together with multiple doses of bazedoxifene (BZA) to healthy postmenopausal women. Information will also be obtained regarding the safety and tolerability of the study medications when given together to healthy postmenopausal women.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether short-term exposure to a compound found in some fruits and vegetables (anthocyanin), is effective in improving skin health and reducing the levels of various markers of cardiovascular disease risk. A range of skin health parameters are being studied and volunteers are also providing skin biopsy, urine and blood samples. 62 postmenopausal women have been recruited for this study.
