RESUMO
Eighty three postmenopausal women without replacement hormonal therapy, 54 postmenopausal women receiving replacement hormonal therapy and 16 premenopausal women (considered as control group) were studied. Hydroxyproline was measured in an early morning urine sample, after one day of diet without meat or gelatin. Urinary hydroxyproline in premenopausal women was 33.7ñ7.9 mg/g creatinine. The figure for postmenopausal women with hormonal replacement therapy was 33.5ñ7.9 mg/g creatinine. Postmenopausal women without replacement therapy had an urinary hydroxyproline of 47.4ñ8.5 mg/g creatinine, significantly higher than that of premenopausal and supplemented women. In 21 postmenopausal women, hydroxyproline was measured before and after 3 months of replacement therapy; values decreased 35.5ñ11 percent in this period and there was a direct correlation between initial values and the degree of reduction (r=0.69, p<0.001). Postmenopausal women receiving hormone replacement therapy have a urinary hydroxyproline excretion similar to that of premenopausal women
