Article Abstract
Menopause is an endocrine-related transition that induces a number of physiological and potentially pathological changes in middle-aged and elderly women. The intention of this research was to investigate the influence of menopause on the intricate relationships between major biochemical metabolites. The study involved metabolic profiling of 186 metabolic markers measured in blood plasma collected from 120 healthy female participants. We developed a method of network analysis using differential correlation that enabled us to detect and characterize differences in metabolites and changes in inter-relationships in pre- and post-menopausal women. A topological analysis was performed on the differential network that uncovered metabolite differences in pre-and post-menopausal women. In this analysis, our method identified two key metabolites, sphingomyelins and phosphatidylcholines, which may be useful in directing further studies into menopause-specific differences in the metabolome, and how these differences may underlie the body's response to stress and disease following the transition from pre- to post-menopausal status for women.

Background: The menopausal transition significantly affects cardiometabolic health, primarily due to changes in reproductive hormones, particularly decreased estrogen levels and relative androgen excess. Adult Muslim women, both pre-and post-menopausal, are mandated to observe Ramadan intermittent fasting (RIF) every year. Therefore, the current study was designed to investigate RIF's effects on pre-menopausal (PRE-M) and post-menopausal (POST-M) healthy women's cardiometabolic health markers.

: Endometrial cancer is currently the sixth most frequent cancer in women, and scientific research is focusing on the search for particular features of the endometrium that may explain a further predisposition to the onset of endometrial cancer, aimed at improving knowledge of the pathogenetic factors of this disease. The aim of our review is to analyze in detail the results of the literature on the endometrial microbiota in patients with endometrial cancer and to investigate its role. : We performed our research on the Pubmed, Web of Science, and Scopus databases.

Reduced orthostatic tolerance is common following periods of bed rest that are associated with illness or surgery, putting individuals at higher risk for syncope and falls following hospitalization. Following menopause, mechanisms of female cardiovascular regulation change, which may be associated with sex-specific responses to orthostatic stress following bed rest. The purpose of our experiment was to investigate sex differences between healthy post-menopausal women and similar age men (age: 55-65 years) for their orthostatic tolerance and cerebrovascular responses to standing following bed rest.

Depression has been associated with adverse diet-related outcomes and women are particularly vulnerable to depression around the menopause transition. Therefore, we hypothesized that depression and postmenopausal status would be associated with lower diet quality, and that depression would be associated with lower diet quality in both pre- and post-menopausal women, but that the association would be stronger in postmenopausal women. Data from 5,634 nonpregnant women age > 20 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2007-2018 were analyzed.
