Cardiovascular Consequences of Estrogen Deficiency: Studies in Premenopausal Women
… 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 (ExOv) …

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 …

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 …

Calcium metabolism and breast cancer risk
… a population-based cohort comprising 10,902 women. Serum calcium, 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) and PTH-levels were furthermore examined in relation to breast cancer risk in a nested case-control study comprising 764 breast cancer cases within the Malmö Diet and Cancer Study. Serum calcium …

Total, abdominal, and hip fat mass and markers for coronary heart disease in pre and postmenopausal obese women
… markers for CHD in pre and postmenopausal obese women. Participants included non-smoking, sedentary and obese premenopausal women (n = 19) and postmenopausal women (n = 13). Resting blood samples were previously collected and analyzed for lipid and lipoprotein cholesterol concentrations. Multiple …

Invasion and Proliferation in Malignant Cells
… was not linked to tamoxifen resistance in premenopausal women. Taken together, our results implicate that there is a general inverse association between invasion and proliferation in some malignancies and this novel finding could be important when designing new treatment strategies for …

Effects of Different Jumping Programs on Hip and Spine Bone Mineral Density in Pre-Menopausal Women
<p>Sixty premenopausal women (age 25-50) finished a 16 week randomized controlled trial looking at the effects of different jump programs on hip and spine bone mineral density (BMD). Subjects were randomly assigned to a control group or one of two jumping groups. The Jump 10 group performed 10 …

The Relationship of Dietary and Lifestyle Factors to Bone Mineral Density of Healthy Singaporean Chinese Women
… specifically investigated Singaporean Chinese women. The subjects in this study were 16 premenopausal, 8 perimenopausal and 13 postmenopausal women who participated in a larger study which began in 1986. Bone density was measured in 1986 and 1992. Dietary and lifestyle data were collected for …

The Association of Adipokines and Insulin Resistance in Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
A metabolic disorder with increasing concern to premenopausal women is Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). PCOS leads to numerous health-related concerns, including insulin resistance. The cause of insulin resistance in women with PCOS is unknown, but adipokine levels may play a role. PURPOSE: The …

‘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 …

Ambient Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Exposure and Breast Cancer Risk in a Population-Based Canadian Case-Control Study
… between long-term fluoranthene exposure and premenopausal breast cancer, with inconsistent findings for postmenopausal breast cancer. For premenopausal breast cancer, adjusted ORs of 2.48 (95% CI: 1.29, 4.77) and 1.59 (95% CI: 1.11, 2.29) were observed when comparing the second highest …

The Influence of Physical Activity on Bone Mineral Content in Women Over Eighteen Years of Age
… investigated in 299 normally healthy, Caucasian women, aged 19 to 91 years. It was hypothesized that the more active women have a greater bone mineral content than their less active peers, and that body composition, skeletal size and calcium intake are important determinants of bone mass. …
