- Wikipedia Opvlieger
Een opvlieger ontstaat doordat het temperatuurcentrum (of warmtecentrum) in de hersenen ontregeld raakt door onbekende oorzaak. Het centrum heeft onder normale omstandigheden een zekere tolerantiemarge van viertiende graad waarbinnen temperatuurschommelingen worden toegelaten. Bij vrouwen met opvliegers is die marge versmald, waardoor zij het snel te warm hebben. Het lichaam wil de warmte zo snel mogelijk kwijt en zorgt dat de bloedvaten in de huid zich verwijden en de opvlieger is een feit.[/fusion_builder_column][Article] - Wulf H.

June 2012, Volume 1, Issue 2, pp 43-49 Recent Developments in Pharmacotherapy for Vasomotor Symptom
Many women experience vasomotor symptoms (VMS) at or around the time of menopause. Hot flashes and night sweats are considered primary menopausal symptoms that may also be associated with sleep and mood disturbances, as well as decreased cognitive function.[Article] - International Menopause Society – Menopause Terminology
Throughout the world, misuse of terminology related to the field of menopause has caused a great deal of confusion and misinformation among healthcare providers, those in research, the media, and the public. To help ensure a standardized definition of key words used in the field, the International Menopause Society (IMS) commissioned a project through its sub-organ, the Council of Affiliated Menopause Societies (CAMS).[Article] - Causes

Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the main cause of death in post-menopausal women (PMW). Beyond the ’traditional’ cardiovascular risk factors of CHD, newer biomarkers, reflecting inflammation, endothelial function and oxidative stress, have received growing consideration. We systematically reviewed the literature on the biomarkers for predicting CHD in PMW. C-reactive protein, IL-6 and Lipoprotein (a) have been consistently found to be associated with CHD risk in PMW.[Abstract] - Collaborative Group on Hormonal Factors in Breast Cancer.

E Menarche, menopause, and breast cancer risk: individual participant meta-analysis, including 118 964 women with breast cancer from 117 epidemiological studies.
Breast cancer risk increased by a factor of 1·050 (95% CI 1·044-1·057; p<0·0001) for every year younger at menarche, and independently by a smaller amount (1·029, 1·025-1·032; p<0·0001), for every year older at menopause. Premenopausal women had a greater risk of breast cancer than postmenopausal women of an identical age (RR at age 45-54 years 1·43, 1·33-1·52, p<0·001).[Article] - Taylor VH, Misra M, Mukherjee SD.

Postgrad Med. 2000 Sep 1;108(3):47-50, 53-6. Weight gain during menopause. Is it inevitable or can it be prevented?
The years surrounding the menopause are associated with weight gain, increased central adiposity, and decreased physical activity. While weight change occurs independent of menopausal status, adverse changes in body fat distribution and body composition may be due to hormonal changes occurring during the menopausal transition.[Abstract] - Davis SR, Castelo-Branco C, Chedraui P, Lumsden MA, Nappi RE, Shah D, Villaseca P; Writing Group of the International Menopause Society for World Menopause Day 2012.

Cad Saude Publica. 2012 Aug;28(8):1423-37. Prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components in the menopausal transition: a systematic review
Based on the selected studies, prevalence of metabolic syndrome increases in the post-menopausal (as compared to pre-menopausal) period, regardless of the population and study design. The change was more significant for waist circumference and blood pressure, suggesting that these components have the greatest influence on prevalence of metabolic syndrome.[Abstract] - Whitcroft S, Herriot A.

Insulin resistance (IR) is associated with a number of metabolic abnormalities including glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia and central obesity (the metabolic syndrome), which predispose to cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus and some cancers. The incidence of many of these conditions increases after the menopause, a time when IR also increases.[Abstract] - Polotsky HN, Polotsky AJ.

A key role of estradiol in the control of food intake and energy balance in humans is evidenced by the fact that the incidence of obesity increases greatly after menopause.[Article] - Geary N. Peptides. 2001 Aug;22(8):1251-63. Estradiol, CCK and satiation
Experimental manipulations of exogenous and endogenous CCK and estradiol have produced converging evidence that estradiol cyclically increases the activity of the CCK satiation-signaling pathway so that meal size and food intake decrease during the ovulatory or estrus phase of the ovarian cycle.[Abstract] - Eckel LA. Physiol Behav. 2011 Sep 26;104(4):517-24. doi: 10.1016/j.physbeh.2011.04.014. The ovarian hormone estradiol plays a crucial role in the control of food intake in females
Adult female rats display a robust decrease in food intake during estrus and ovariectomy promotes hyperphagia and weight gain, both of which can be prevented by a physiological regimen of estradiol treatment.[Article] - Geary N. Medscape Womens Health. 1998 Nov;3(6):3. The effect of estrogen on appetite
Furthermore, accumulating evidence indicates that estradiol may decrease meal size by increasing the potency of the satiating actions of some gut peptides, especially cholecystokinin.[Abstract] - Poehlman ET. Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand. 2002 Jul;81(7):603-11. Menopause, energy expenditure, and body composition
Preliminary evidence suggests that natural menopause is associated with reduced energy expenditure during rest and physical activity, an accelerated loss of fat-free mass, and increased central adiposity and fasting insulin levels.[Abstract] - Poehlman ET, Tchernof A. Coron Artery Dis. 1998;9(12):799-803. Traversing the menopause: changes in energy expenditure and body composition
Thus, it appears that the loss of ovarian function induces a reduction in resting metabolic rate, physical activity energy expenditure, fat-free mass, and an increase in fat mass and abdominal adipose tissue accumulation.[Abstract]

JAMA. 2002 Jul 17;288(3):321-33. Risks and benefits of estrogen plus progestin in healthy postmenopausal women: principal results From the Women’s Health Initiative randomized controlled trial
Estrogen plus progestin component of the Women’s Health Initiative, a randomized controlled primary prevention trial (planned duration, 8.5 years) in which 16608 postmenopausal women aged 50-79 years with an intact uterus at baseline were recruited by 40 US clinical centers in 1993-1998.
On May 31, 2002, after a mean of 5.2 years of follow-up, the data and safety monitoring board recommended stopping the trial of estrogen plus progestin vs placebo because the test statistic for invasive breast cancer exceeded the stopping boundary for this adverse effect and the global index statistic supported risks exceeding benefits.
Estimated hazard ratios (HRs) (nominal 95% confidence intervals [CIs]) were as follows: CHD, 1.29 (1.02-1.63) with 286 cases; breast cancer, 1.26 (1.00-1.59) with 290 cases; stroke, 1.41 (1.07-1.85) with 212 cases; PE, 2.13 (1.39-3.25) with 101 cases;

The accumulated evidence shows a higher risk of breast cancer among HRT ever users compared to non users. The risk increases with treatment duration and disappears a few years after the end of the treatment.[Abstract] - Farquhar CM, Marjoribanks J, Lethaby A, Lamberts Q, Suckling JA; Cochrane HT Study Group. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2005 Jul 20;(3):CD004143. Long term hormone therapy for perimenopausal and postmenopausal women
In relatively healthy women, combined continuous HT significantly increased the risk of venous thromboembolism or coronary event (after one year’s use), stroke (after 3 years), breast cancer (after 5 years) and gallbladder disease. Long-term oestrogen-only HT also significantly increased the risk of stroke and gallbladder disease. Overall, the only statistically significant benefits of HT were a decreased incidence of fractures and colon cancer with long-term use.[Abstract] - Greiser CM1, Greiser EM, Dören M.

We found a significant increase of risk – 76.2% – in non-smoking women with adenocarcinoma reporting ever-use of HT. Estrogen plus progestin therapy does not change the risk; however.[Abstract] - Chlebowski RT, Schwartz AG, Wakelee H, Anderson GL, Stefanick ML, Manson JE, Rodabough RJ, Chien JW, Wactawski-Wende J, Gass M, Kotchen JM, Johnson KC, O’Sullivan MJ, Ockene JK, Chen C, Hubbell FA; Women’s Health Initiative Investigators.

Oestrogen plus progestin and lung cancer in postmenopausal women (Women’s Health Initiative trial): a post-hoc analysis of a randomised controlled trial
Although treatment with oestrogen plus progestin in postmenopausal women did not increase incidence of lung cancer, it increased the number of deaths from lung cancer, in particular deaths from non-small-cell lung cancer. These findings should be incorporated into risk-benefit discussions with women considering combined hormone therapy, especially those with a high risk of lung cancer.[Article] - Pearce CL, Chung K, Pike MC, Wu AH.

ET use increases risk of ovarian cancer in a duration-dependent manner, and it appears that the addition of progestins blocks this effect, at least to some extent. Whether the effect of estrogens would be completely blocked if progestins were given every day is unclear.[Abstract] - Prentice RL1.

Specifically, with combined estrogen plus progestin, CHD risk was elevated early with the elevation dissipating after a few years of treatment, whereas breast cancer elevations increased during the treatment period, and climbed to about a threefold increase following 5 years of adherence. Importantly, breast cancer risk elevations appear to be higher among women who initiate treatment at the menopause, or soon thereafter, compared with women having a longer gap time.[Article] - Chlebowski RT1, Anderson GL2.

In these trials, estrogen plus progestin significantly increased breast cancer incidence and deaths from breast cancer, significantly increased deaths from lung cancer, significantly decreased endometrial cancer, and did not have a clinically significant influence on colorectal cancer. In contrast, estrogen alone use in women with prior hysterectomy significantly reduced breast cancer incidence and deaths from breast cancer without significant influence on colorectal cancer or lung cancer.[Article] - Gurney EP1, Nachtigall MJ1, Nachtigall LE1, Naftolin F2.

More than ten years after the publication of the “Women’s Health Initiatives” (WHI) study, a global consensus statement on menopausal hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been edited by an expert committee, composed by all the international menopausal societies. This global consensus has been published in April 2013 in the journal Climacteric. In conclusion, HRT has to be an individual decision, weighing up benefits and risks and it should not be prescribed for the first time in women older than 60 years or more than ten years after the onset of menopause. Dose and duration of HRT are individual and the indication has to be reevaluated annually. HRT is contraindicated in breast cancer survivors.[Article] - Sites CK1.

The attraction to and promise of BHRT is rooted in the idea that it is a “natural” therapy. BHRT is given both biomedical and embodied legitimacy by clinicians and patients because of its purported ability to become part of the body’s “natural” processes. The normative assumption that “natural” is inherently “good” not only places BHRT beyond reproach, but transforms its use into a health benefit.

The media and celebrity endorsements have promoted a number of misconceptions about the risks and benefits associated with the various forms of BHT. Due to the lack of sufficient data to support the efficacy or safety of BHT, we recommend the use of United States Food and Drug Administration-approved regimens in the management of menopausal symptoms.

The practice of compounding BHs for individualized treatment of women with menopausal symptoms has developed in the USA. In spite of claims of superiority, there is no evidence to suggest that these formulations are any more efficacious or safe than conventional hormone replacement therapy (HRT).[Abstract] - Cirigliano M1. J Womens Health (Larchmt). 2007 Jun;16(5):600-31. Bioidentical hormone therapy: a review of the evidence.
Compounded BHTs have been promoted by some as natural, safer, and in some cases more efficacious than conventional hormone therapies, but there is a dearth of scientific evidence to support these claims. Compounded BHTs lack well controlled studies examining route of administration, pharmacokinetics, safety, and a critical, science-based rationale for the mixture and ratios of bioidentical estrogens employed in many preparations.[Abstract] - Fugh-Berman A1, Bythrow J.

The bioidentical hormone debate: are bioidentical hormones (estradiol, estriol, and progesterone) safer or more efficacious than commonly used synthetic versions in hormone replacement therapy?
Physiological data and clinical outcomes demonstrate that bioidentical hormones are associated with lower risks, including the risk of breast cancer and cardiovascular disease, and are more efficacious than their synthetic and animal-derived counterparts. Until evidence is found to the contrary, bioidentical hormones remain the preferred method of HRT.[Abstract] - Moskowitz D. Altern Med Rev. 2006 Sep;11(3):208-23. A comprehensive review of the safety and efficacy of bioidentical hormones for the management of menopause and related health risks
The studies reviewed suggest bioidentical progesterone does not have a negative effect on blood lipids or vasculature as do many synthetic progestins, and may carry less risk with respect to breast cancer incidence. Studies of both bioidentical estrogens and progesterone suggest a reduced risk of blood clots compared to non-bioidentical preparations.[Article] - Wikipedia Gabapentine

Environ Health Perspect. 2002 Jun;110 Suppl 3:349-53. Goitrogenic and estrogenic activity of soy isoflavones
We then focus on evidence from animal and human studies suggesting a link between soy consumption and goiter, an activity independent of estrogenicity. Iodine deficiency greatly increases soy antithyroid effects, whereas iodine supplementation is protective. Thus, soy effects on the thyroid involve the critical relationship between iodine status and thyroid function.[Article]

According to this indirect comparison, there is no statistically significant difference between HT or isoflavones in the reduction of vertebral fracture risk due to osteoporosis, and both interventions seem to be similar for this outcome.[Abstract] - Scheiber MD1, Rebar RW. Menopause. 1999 Fall;6(3):233-41. Isoflavones and postmenopausal bone health: a viable alternative to estrogen therapy?
The data on naturally occurring isoflavones are very limited but suggest that including them in the diet results in reduction in bone resorption caused by estrogen deficiency.[Abstract] - Taku K1, Melby MK, Kurzer MS, Mizuno S, Watanabe S, Ishimi Y.

Based on these data, it is estimated that smoking increases the lifetime risk of developing a vertebral fracture by 13% in women and 32% in men. At the hip, smoking is estimated to increase lifetime fracture risk by 31% in women and 40% in men. It appears that smoking has an independent, dose-dependent effect on bone loss, which increases fracture risk, and may be partially reversed by smoking cessation. Given the public health implications of smoking on bone health, it is important that this information be incorporated into smoking prevention and cessation efforts.[Abstract] - Law MR1, Hackshaw AK. BMJ. 1997 Oct 4;315(7112):841-6. A meta-analysis of cigarette smoking, bone mineral density and risk of hip fracture: recognition of a major effect

The blood-brain barrier as a cause of obesity
Hallmarks of starvation include decreased secretion of leptin by adipose tissue and hypertriglyceridemia. Triglycerides inhibit the transport of leptin across the BBB, thus attenuating the leptin signal across the BBB and providing a mechanism for peripheral leptin resistance. Triglycerides are elevated in both starvation and obesity.[Abstract] - Fietta P1 Minerva Med. 2005 Apr;96(2):65-75. Focus on leptin, a pleiotropic hormone
Leptin, released by the adipocytes into the bloodstream in positive correlation to the fat mass, plays a key role in the body weight control. Indeed, it suppresses the appetite and increases the metabolic rate, primarily acting through central pathways. Conversely, during starvation leptinemia rapidly falls, leading to a reduction of the energy expenditure and allowing a longer survival.[Abstract] - Achten J1, Jeukendrup AE.

The European countries, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Korea and India among others do not have an upper limit for cholesterol intake in their dietary guidelines. Further, existing epidemiological data have clearly demonstrated that dietary cholesterol is not correlated with increased risk for CHD. Although numerous clinical studies have shown that dietary cholesterol challenges may increase plasma LDL cholesterol in certain individuals, who are more sensitive to dietary cholesterol (about one-quarter of the population), HDL cholesterol also rises resulting in the maintenance of the LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio, a key marker of CHD risk. The lines of evidence coming from current epidemiological studies and from clinical interventions utilizing different types of cholesterol challenges support the notion that the recommendations limiting dietary cholesterol should be reconsidered.[Abstract] - Fernandez ML1, Calle M.

The perceived association between dietary cholesterol (DC) and risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) has resulted in recommendations of no more than 300 mg/d for healthy persons in the United States. These dietary recommendations proposed in the 1960s had little scientific evidence other than the known association between saturated fat and cholesterol and animal studies where cholesterol was fed in amounts far exceeding normal intakes.[Abstract] - McNamara DJ1.

In the 1960s, the thesis that dietary cholesterol contributes to blood cholesterol and heart disease risk was a rational conclusion based on the available science at that time. Fifty years later the research evidence no longer supports this hypothesis yet changing the dietary recommendation to limit dietary cholesterol has been a slow and at times contentious process. In contrast, health promotion groups in some countries appear to suffer from cognitive dissonance and continue to promote an outdated and potentially hazardous dietary recommendation based on an invalidated hypothesis.

Among the most important risk factors patients afflicted with IR develop is the so-called atherogenic lipid triad: large numbers of small, dense low-density lipoprotein (sdLDL) particles, hypertriglyceridemia, and low serum concentrations of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Numerous small studies suggest that sdLDL is highly correlated with cardiovascular events. [Abstract] - Rizzo M1, Berneis K. Diabetes Metab Res Rev. 2007 Jan;23(1):14-20.

Small, dense low-density-lipoproteins (LDL) are associated with increased risk for cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus and a reduction in LDL size has been reported in patients with coronary and non-coronary forms of atherosclerosis.

Int J Cardiol. 2006 Feb 15;107(2):166-70. Should we measure routinely the LDL peak particle size?
LDL size seems also to be an important predictor of cardiovascular events and progression of coronary artery disease and the predominance of small dense LDL has been accepted as an emerging cardiovascular risk factor by the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III. Since the therapeutic modulation of small, dense LDL particles is of great benefit in reducing the atherosclerotic risk, the LDL size measurement should be extended to patients at high risk of coronary artery disease as much as possible.[Abstract] - Preiss D1, Seshasai SR, Welsh P, Murphy SA, Ho JE, Waters DD, DeMicco DA, Barter P, Cannon CP, Sabatine MS, Braunwald E, Kastelein JJ, de Lemos JA, Blazing MA, Pedersen TR, Tikkanen MJ, Sattar N, Ray KK.

The ratio was > 1.33 in 90% of the patients with small LDL particles (95% CI 79.3-100) and 16.5% of those with larger LDL particles. A cutoff point of 1.33 for the TG-to-HDL cholesterol ratio distinguishes between patients having small LDL values better than TG cutoff of 1.70 and 1.45 mmol/l.

Beyond low-density lipoprotein: addressing the atherogenic lipid triad in type 2 diabetes mellitus and the metabolic syndrome
Small, dense, LDL-C particles are also highly atherogenic as they are more likely to form oxidized LDL and are less readily cleared. Insulin resistance, which is central to the metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus, leads to high levels of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), which contain a high concentration of triglycerides, resulting in high serum triglyceride levels and low serum HDL-C levels.[Abstract] - King RI1, Florkowski CM, Yeo J, Walmsley TA, Shand BI, Scott RS, George PM.

The atherogenic lipoprotein phenotype ‘pattern B’ comprises a predominance of small-dense low-density lipoprotein (sdLDL).

Because of the lack of clinical data demonstrating the potential side effects of dong quai, its use in herbal preparations for the treatment of peri- or postmenopausal symptoms, especially in women with breast cancer, warrants caution pending further study.[Abstract] - Chen HY, Cho WC, Sze SC, Tong Y. Am J Chin Med. 2008;36(2):233-44. Treatment of menopausal symptoms with Er-xian decoction: a systematic review
The results also indicated that the efficacy of EXD was better than the other non-menopausal hormone therapy (p<0.01), while there was no significant difference between the EXD and menopausal hormone therapy groups.[Abstract] - Zhong LL, Tong Y, Tang GW, Zhang ZJ, Choi WK, Cheng KL, Sze SC, Wai K, Liu Q, Yu BX.

Medicinal plants as alternative treatments for female sexual dysfunction: utopian vision or possible treatment in climacteric women?
Ferula hermonis, Angelica sinensis, and Gingko biloba may be suggested for arousal disorder studies. Cimicifuga racemosa, Trifolium pratense, and Vitex agnus-castus may be recommended for several FSD. Humulus lupulus and Tribulus terrestris may help with desire disorder studies. Lepidium meyenii should be studied further.[Abstract]

Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) find that the extracts of Mediterranean pine bark (Pycnogenol(®)), linseed, and Lepididium meyenii (Maca) reduce vasomotor symptoms.[Abstract] - Shin BC1, Lee MS, Yang EJ, Lim HS, Ernst E. BMC Complement Altern Med. 2010 Aug 6;10:44. doi: 10.1186/1472-6882-10-44.Maca (L. meyenii) for improving sexual function: a systematic review
The results of our systematic review provide limited evidence for the effectiveness of maca in improving sexual function. However, the total number of trials, the total sample size, and the average methodological quality of the primary studies were too limited to draw firm conclusions. More rigorous studies are warranted.[Article] - Brooks NA1, Wilcox G, Walker KZ, Ashton JF, Cox MB, Stojanovska L. Menopause. 2008 Nov-Dec;15(6):1157-62. doi: 10.1097/gme.0b013e3181732953. Beneficial effects of Lepidium meyenii (Maca) on psychological symptoms and measures of sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women are not related to estrogen or androgen content
Preliminary findings show that Lepidium meyenii (Maca) (3.5 g/d) reduces psychological symptoms, including anxiety and depression, and lowers measures of sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women independent of estrogenic and androgenic activity.[Abstract]
