متن کاملPostmenopausal hypertension: role of 20-HETE.
Blood pressure (BP) increases after menopause. However, the mechanisms responsible have not been elucidated. In this study we tested the hypothesis that 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (20-HETE), produced by cytochrome P-450 (CYP450) ω-hydroxylase, contributes to the hypertension in a model of postmenopausal hypertension, aged female spontaneously hypertensive rats (PMR). 1-Aminobenzotriazole,...

The aim of this study was to examine the association between hypertension and osteoporosis among postmenopausal women. By mean...
متن کاملAge at First Childbirth and Hypertension in Postmenopausal Women.
Whether age at first childbirth has an effect on hypertension incidence is unclear. The objectives of this study were to examine the relationship between age at first childbirth and hypertension and to examine whether degree of obesity, measured as body mass index, mediates age at first childbirth-related hypertension in postmenopausal women. This study analyzed 4779 postmenopausal women data f...
