Association of ß-glucuronidase activity with menopausal status, ethnicity, adiposity, and inflammation in women
le is known about ß-glucuronidase regulation across women's reproductive lifespan. Correlates of serum ß-glucuronidase activity in healthy premenopausal versus postmenopausal women were therefore examined. Methods ß-Glucuronidase activity and C-reactive protein...
Conclusion: ß-Glucuronidase enzyme activity, upon which polyphenol health-related benefits may depend, is not associated with menopausal status. Future studies are required to determine clinical significance and mechanisms driving ß-glucuronidase associations with ethnicity, inflammation, and adiposity in women.

Aging is an important risk factor for the development of heart failure (HF) and half of patients with HF have preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) which is more common in elderly...
Conclusion: Despite all the advances in considering the best options to treat menopause-induced HFpEF, which involves the reduction of cardioprotection due to estrogen depletion, the focus should be the modulation of the RAS and sympathetic system. The combination of the alternatives described and lifestyle changes including physical activity...
Vitamin D supplements and prevalent overactive bladder in women from midlife through older ages
ate the association of vitamin D supplements with prevalent OAB, all of which were reported by participants in 2019 in both NHS cohorts. OAB was defined as the self-reported need...
Conclusion: OAB symptoms are highly prevalent across adult women, including the oldest old, who are often excluded from treatment trials. Despite interest in vitamin D supplementation as a low-cost strategy to address OAB, our findings indicate oral vitamin D is not associated with prevalent OAB in middle-aged and older women.

Background Hormonal, biochemical, and metabolic changes after menopause may alter the quality of life of women, leading to vasomotor, psychological, and genitourinary symptoms, and changes in their gut microbiota, which...
Conclusion: The hormonal and metabolic changes during menopause in the population studied were accompanied by a significant change in the fecal microbiota, especially of the genus Clostridium.
Body Composition Analysis in Perimenopausal Women Considering the Influence of Vitamin D, Menstruation, Sociodemographic Factors, and Stimulants Used
Source : https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/19/23/15831/htm
(1) The perimenopausal period and menopause are physiological stages of a woman’s life, and they may result in the occurrence of many health problems. The aim of this study was...
Discussion: Non-menstruating women were characterized by elevated body composition parameters, especially adipose tissue mass, visceral adipose tissue, and metabolic age. Women who declared too frequent alcohol consumption showed lower values of phase angle, which may indicate a weaker capacity of cells to conduct metabolic processes and...
