Article Abstract
Isomers of conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) reduce fat mass (FM) and increase insulin sensitivity in some, but not all, murine studies. In humans, this effect is still debatable. In this study, we compared the effect of 2 CLA supplements on total and regional FM assessed by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry, changes in serum insulin and glucose concentrations, and adipose tissue (AT) gene expression in humans. In a double-blind, parallel, 16-wk intervention, we randomized 81 healthy postmenopausal women to 1) 5.5 g/d of 40/40% of cis9,trans11-CLA (c9,t11-CLA) and trans10,cis12-CLA (t10,c12-CLA) (CLA-mix); 2) cis9, trans11-CLA (c9,t11-CLA); or 3) control (olive oil). We assessed all variables before and after the intervention. The CLA-mix group had less total FM (4%) and lower-body FM (7%) than the control (P = 0.02 and < 0.001, respectively). Post hoc analyses showed that serum insulin concentrations were greater in the CLA-mix group (34%) than the control group (P = 0.02) in the highest waist circumference tertile only. AT mRNA expression of glucose transporter 4, leptin, and lipoprotein lipase was lower, whereas expression of tumor necrosis factor-alpha was higher in the CLA-mix group than in the control group (P < 0.04). In conclusion, a 50:50 mixture of c9,t11- and t10,c12-CLA isomers resulted in less total and lower-body FM in postmenopausal women and greater serum insulin concentrations in the highest waist circumference tertile. Future research is needed to confirm the insulin desensitizing effect of the CLA mixture and the effect on the mRNA expression of adipocyte-specific genes in humans.

Associations between breastfeeding and breast cancer risk through mammographic breast density in a cohort of Korean women.
Int J Epidemiol
December 2024
Department of Preventive Medicine, Hanyang University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: Mammographic breast density has been suggested to play a role as a mediator between the risk factors for breast cancer (BC) and BC risk. We investigated the extent to which never breastfeeding is a risk factor for BC and how this risk is further mediated by increased mammographic breast density.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 4 136 723 women aged ≥40 years who underwent mammographic screening between 2009 and 2010 and were followed up until 31 December 2020.
Diagnostic yield of upper gastrointestinal tract endoscopy and colonoscopy in patients with iron deficiency anaemia while on direct oral anticoagulants.
Intern Med J
December 2024
Internal Medicine Services, The Prince Charles Hospital, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Background: Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) related to occult gastrointestinal tract (GIT) blood loss is associated with high rates of GIT malignancies. Major society guidelines recommend bidirectional endoscopic evaluation for all men and post-menopausal women with newly diagnosed, unexplained IDA. However, in patients prescribed direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), the endoscopic yield, specifically the rate of high-risk findings, including colorectal cancers (CRCs) and advanced adenomas (AAs), is unknown.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)

Tianjin Union Medical Center, Tianjin Medical University, Tianjin, China.
Background: Postmenopausal women represent the demographic increasingly susceptible to cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Elevated levels of remnant cholesterol (RC) have been implicated in atherosclerosis and insulin resistance.
Methods: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between RC and the prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD), diabetes, and CHD combined with diabetes in a nationally representative sample of US postmenopausal women using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2018.
Hormone Replacement Therapy in Post-Menopausal Women Undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty is Associated with Reduced 10-Year Periprosthetic Femur Fracture Rate.
J Arthroplasty
December 2024
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD.
Introduction: In postmenopausal women who are estrogen deficient, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been shown to improve fragility fracture risk. However, few studies have examined the relationship between HRT and periprosthetic fracture (PPF) risk after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of HRT use on 10-year PPF risk following THA.

J Orthop Surg Res

Department of Endocrinology, Hebei Medical University Third Hospital, Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China.
Background: The influence of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) on bone metabolism is well-established. However, it has been observed that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the GLP-1R gene can partially affect its function. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the association between SNPs in the GLP-1R gene and postmenopausal osteoporosis (PMOP) within the Chinese Han population.
