History of Changes
  Purpose

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 and on anthropometric, metabolic and hormonal variables in early and healthy postmenopausal women and analyzing polymorphisms in the estrogen receptor gene and metabolic variables with the FTO, anthropometric and endothelial function

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

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Polymorphisms of estrogen receptor [ Time Frame: six months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    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.


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Polymorphisms in the fat mass-and obesity-associated (FTO) gene [ Time Frame: Six Months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Influence of 2 polymorphisms (rs9939609 and rs8050136) 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.
