NCT01432028

Brief Summary

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

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Polymorphisms of estrogen receptor

    Influence of 4 polymorphisms (PVUII, ALUI, RSAI and BSTUI) on the effect of different treatment regimens. Change from Baseline in weight, waist circumference, BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, glucose at 120 min, Fasting insulin, HOMA, Cholesterol, HDL-c, LDL-c, Triglycerides, Von Willebrand Factor, Fibrinogen, Testosterone and C-reactive protein at six months.

    six months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Polymorphisms in the fat mass-and obesity-associated (FTO) gene
