This study found that transdermal ERT led to reductions in LDL-C and insulin resistance compared to placebo, but had a negative impact on serum HDL total CEC. In addition, there was a negative correlation between changes in serum HDL total CEC and brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation.
BACKGROUND: The cardiovascular (CV) safety of estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) in perimenopausal women remains uncertain. Although exogenous estrogens increase HDL cholesterol (HDL-C), estrogen-mediated effects on alternative metrics of HDL that may better predict CV risk are unknown. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of transdermal ERT on HDL composition and cholesterol efflux capacity (CEC), as well as the relationships between these metrics and CV risk factors. METHODS: Fasting plasma samples were analyzed from 101 healthy, perimenopausal women randomized to receive either transdermal placebo or transdermal estradiol (100 mu g/24 h) with intermittent micronized progesterone. At baseline and after 6 months of treatment, serum HDL CEC, HDL particle concentration, HDL protein composition, insulin resistance and brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) were measured. RESULTS: No difference between groups was found for change in plasma HDL-C (p = 0.69). Between-group differences were found for changes in serum HDL total CEC [median change from baseline -5.4 (-17.3,+8.4)% ERT group versus +5.8 (-6.3,+16.9)% placebo group, p = 0.01] and ABCA1-specific CEC [median change from baseline -5.3 (-10.7,+6.7)% ERT group versus +7.4 (-1.5,+18.1)% placebo group, p = 0.0002]. Relative to placebo, transdermal ERT led to reductions in LDL-C (p < 0.0001) and insulin resistance (p = 0.0002). An inverse correlation was found between changes in serum HDL total CEC and FMD (b = -0.26, p = 0.004). CONCLUSIONS: Natural menopause leads to an increase in serum HDL CEC, an effect that is abrogated by transdermal ERT. However, transdermal ERT leads to favorable changes in major CV risk factors.
