A Study of the Relationships between Serum Calcitonin Gene-Related Peptide, Sex Hormone, Homocysteine and Coronary Heart Disease in Postmenopausal Women
Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical Science (IJBS) - Year 2006, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective. To investigate the relationships among serum calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), homocysteine (Hcy), female hormone, and coronary arteriopathy in postmenopausal women. Method. In a cross-sectional study, serum CGRP, estrodiol (E2), progesterone（P）and Hcy levels of 144 postmenopausal women with coronary heart disease (CHD) and non-coronary heart disease (NCHD) were measured. Results. The mean serum CGRP level was significantly lower in CHD patients than in NCHD subjects. The mean serum E2 and P level were significantly lower in CHD patients than in NCHD subjects. The mean serum Hcy level was significantly higher in CHD patients than in NCHD subjects. By multivariate logistic regression, the OR of high Hcy level ≥1, p
