RESUMO

To compare the effects on the lipid profile of estradiol valerate with norgestrel to a regimen of estradiol valerate with cyproterone acetate. Sixty-four healthy women in their perimenopause or early postmenopause, aged between 40-55 years, were randomized to one of the two 21-day sequential regimens: estradiol valerate 2 mg/day for 21 days and combined with either norgestrel 0.5 mg/day or cyproterone acetate 1 mg/day from day 12 to 21, with 7 days of drug-free interval, for 12 cycles. Lipid profiles were followed at baseline, 6 and 12 cycles. Sixty-one subjects completed the study, 30 in the norgestrel group and 31 in the cyproterone group. During 12 cycles of study, serum HDL cholesterol levels decreased significantly in the norgestrel group (p < 0.01) and were unchanged in the cyproterone group. The levels were significantly lower in the norgestrel group than in the cyproterone group (p < 0.05). No differences were found between groups as regards LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol levels. Triglyceride levels decreased significantly in the norgestrel group (p < 0.01), remained unchanged in the cyproterone group and the levels were significantly different between groups (p < 0.01). In conclusion, the study demonstrated that sequential regimen of estradiol valerate with norgestrel produced less favorable HDL cholesterol but more favorable triglyceride levels than the regimen of estradiol valerate with cyproterone acetate.
