Cardiovascular Consequences of Estrogen Deficiency: Studies in Premenopausal Women
The influence of estrogen deficiency in physically active women with functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (ExFHA) on cardiovascular regulation is unknown. Three mechanistic studies compared cardiovascular responses to exercise and orthostatic stress in ExFHA women with responses in physically active …

Aerobic Exercise and Bone Turnover in Trained and Untrained Premenopausal Women
… this dissertation was to compare two groups of premenopausal women, those which are sedentary (low fitness) versus those that are well-trained (high fitness), by BMD and bone turnover markers at rest and the acute response of these bone turnover markers to a single bout of 60 min of aerobic …

The Association Between Sex Hormone Binding Globulin And C-Reactive Protein Levels in Premenopausal Women
… the association between SHBG and CRP levels in premenopausal women. If this association is proven to be true, it could explain the mechanism by which some inflammatory and autoimmune diseases flare up or remit in women during their reproductive years. This study investigated the association …

‘My bones won’t break me.’ A reflective topical autobiography exploring the experience of living with premenopausal osteoporosis.
Premenopausal osteoporosis is a poorly understood condition in which otherwise healthy, premenopausal women have very low bone mineral density. This makes them susceptible to low trauma fractures that are both painful and debilitating. Being diagnosed with a chronic condition at any age has been …

Using quantitative ultrasound for epidemiological research : associations with risk factors for low bone mineral density in South African premenopausal women
… measures of bone strength in a large sample of premenopausal South African women are similar to those known to be associated with the BMD as measured by DEXA, and compares these associations with those in other populations. This cross-sectional study included 3493 black and mixed race women aged …

The Region Specific Influence of Estradiol on In-Vivo Lipolysis in Subcutaneous Adipose Tissue in Overweight-to-Moderately-Obese Premenopausal Women
Premenopausal women demonstrate preferential accumulation of adiposity in the gynoid region, a distribution which shifts towards the abdominal region after the menopausal transition. Although estrogen is implicated as a major player in determining body fat distribution the mechanisms behind …

Contributions of physical activity, body composition, age, and nutritional factors to total and regional bone mass in premenopausal aerobic dancers and walkers
… bone mass in physically active and sedentary premenopausal women. It was hypothesized that aerobic dancers would have the highest and non-exercisers the lowest total body and regional bone mineral density (BMD) and that a history of participation in aerobic dance or walking would contribute to …

Gender differences in aortic endothelial function in a rat model of streptozotocin-induced diabetes : possible role of superoxide and cyclooxygenase
… vasculature. A number of studies suggest that premenopausal diabetic women loose their gender based cardiovascular protection. However, there is insufficient evidence to explain the mechanism underlying the loss of this gender based cardioprotection in premenopausal diabetic women. The …
