| Abstract | Background Endothelial dysfunction (ED) represents an initial step of “vascular failure” [1]; several factors affect the functionality of the endothelium. Obesity [2] and estrogen deficiency [3] are independently associated with this. The early detection of ED is essential to intervene and prevent its progression. One of the most promising methods to assess vascular endothelial function is the measurement of endothelium- dependent flow-mediated vasodilation (FMD) [1]. Similarly, pulse wave velocity (PWV) is considered as a predictive value for the stratification of vascular risk [4], however, progression between endothelial events and arterial stiffness continues to be examined. Objective To evaluate the association between endothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness in postmenopausal women with obesity. Methods Descriptive study of 19 postmenopausal women with grade I and II obesity, without associated comorbidities. Participants were classified into one of two groups: with ED (FMD < 6%) or non-ED (FMD > 6%). The hemodynamic metabolic, hormonal and arterial stiffness parameters were evaluated. Results The group with ED (n = 10) compared to the non-ED group (n = 9) presented age 57.30 ± 4.80 vs 52.40 ± 5.70 years (p = NS); BMI 34.75 ± 2.06 vs 33.06 ± 2.51 kg/m2 (p = NS). Statically significant findings include: FSH 35.43 ± 11.04 vs 55.19 ± 19.27 mUI/ml (p = 0.018); PWV 9.18 ± 1.84 vs 7.52 ± 1.26 m/s (p = 0.041); central SBP 135 ± 15.90 vs 120 ± 18.2 mmHg (p = 0.041). We also measure estradiol, QIMT, SBP, DBP, PP, AIx, LDL-C, HDL-C and triglycerides, no significant differences were observed. Conclusion We can conclude that in the group with endothelial dysfunction the PWV and the cSBP are higher with a significant difference. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
