Metabolic syndrome in perimenopausal women
An overview of the modern standings of metabolic syndrome in perimenopausal women has been made. The role of estrogen deficiency, obesity, arterial hypertension, abnormalities of carbogidrate and lipid metabolism in pathogenesis of metabolic disorders has been discussed. Data on the influence of the main components of metabolic syndrome on the circulatory system and on each other have been analyzed. We conclude that the interaction between the fading functions of the ovaries and the main components of metabolic syndrome causes the worsening in the progression of all the components of metabolic syndrome. However, a large amount of contradictory information requires further investigations of the problems.
