Publication Metadata only Estrogen receptor gene polymorphisms in a group of postmenopausal Turkish women: association with bone mineral density(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2012) YOLDEMİR, AHMET TEVFİK; Yavuz, D. G.; Yoldemir, T.; Ozaltun, K.; Erenus, M.Objective To evaluate the frequency of the estrogen receptor (ER) gene PvuII and XbaI polymorphisms and their associations with bone mineral density (BMD) in a group of postmenopausal Turkish women. Design A total of 125 healthy postmenopausal women and 125 premenopausal healthy young women as controls were included in the study. The PvuII and XbaI polymorphisms in the ER gene were studied by the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. The BMD of the lumbar vertebrae and femoral neck were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Results The frequencies of the ER alpha PVuII genotypes PP, Pp and pp were 20%, 54.4% and 25.6% in premenopausal and 24.8%, 44.8% and 30.4% in postmenopausal women, respectively. The frequencies of the ER XbaI genotypes XX, Xx, xx were 16.8%, 48.8% and 34.4% in premenopausal and 16.8%, 48% and 35.2% in postmenopausal women, respectively. There was no difference in the frequencies of ER gene polymorphisms between premenopausal and postmenopausal women. BMD measurements were not different between ER PvuII and XbaI genotypes in premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Conclusions ER gene PvuII and XbaI polymorphisms have no major influence on bone mineral density in our group of postmenopausal women.Publication Metadata only Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms in a group of postmenopausal Turkish women: association with bone mineral density(INFORMA HEALTHCARE, 2011) YOLDEMİR, AHMET TEVFİK; Yoldemir, T.; Yavuz, D. G.; Anik, G.; Verimli, N.; Erenus, M.Objective To determine the frequency of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms BsmI, ApaI, TaqI and FokI and their associations with bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal Turkish women. Design One hundred and thirty healthy postmenopausal women and 130 premenopausal healthy women acting as controls were included in the study. The BsmI, FokI, ApaI and TaqI polymorphisms in the VDR gene were studied by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. The BMD of the lumbar vertebrae and femur neck were measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Comparisons between the groups were performed using the paired t-test and ANOVA. chi(2) or contingency tables were used to analyze qualitative results. Results Genotypes BB, Bb and bb occurred in premenopausal women with frequencies of 16.92%, 50% and 33.08% and in postmenopausal women with frequencies of 16.92%, 56.15% and 26.92%, respectively. Genotypes FF, Ff, ff occurred in premenopausal women with frequencies of 47.69%, 42.31% and 10% and in postmenopausal women with frequencies of 50.77%, 42.31% and 6.92%, respectively. Genotypes AA, Aa, aa occurred in premenopausal women with frequencies of 23.85%, 56.15% and 20% and in postmenopausal women with frequencies of 26.15%, 46.15% and 27.70%, respectively. Genotypes TT, Tt and tt occurred in premenopausal women with frequencies of 37.69%, 45.38% and 16.92% and in postmenopausal women with frequencies of 39.23%, 45% and 15.38%, respectively. There was no difference in the frequencies of VDR gene polymorphisms between premenopausal and postmenopausal women. BMD measurements were not different between genotypes in premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Conclusions The VDR gene BsmI, FokI, ApaI and TaqI polymorphisms have no major influence on bone mineral density in our group of postmenopausal women.Publication Metadata only The association of osteopenia with levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and HOMA-IR values(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2014) YOLDEMİR, AHMET TEVFİK; Yoldemir, T.; Yavuz, D. G.Objective To determine the association of osteopenia with levels of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and HOMA-IR values in postmenopausal women. Methods One hundred healthy postmenopausal women were included in a cross-sectional study. Venous blood was collected after an overnight fast and 25-hydroxyvitamin D, glucose and insulin levels were measured. HOMA-IR was calculated. Bone mineral density was measured with a dual X-ray absorptiometer. Results There was no difference in serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and HOMA-IR values between the two groups. A weak positive correlation between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and osteopenia was detected. Insulin resistance had a weak negative association with osteopenia. Conclusions The correlations between osteopenia and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and HOMA-IR values were weak among early postmenopausal women.Publication Metadata only Should we consider assessment of bone mineral density earlier in postmenopausal women with pelvic organ prolapse?(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2011) YOLDEMİR, AHMET TEVFİK; Yoldemir, T.; Erenus, M.Objective To investigate a possible association between the presence of pelvic organ prolapse and osteopenia or osteoporosis in early postmenopausal women. Design Eighty-seven postmenopausal women between the ages of 55 and 60 years who had been admitted to the Gynecology or Menopause Outpatient clinics of Marmara University, School of Medicine were included in the study. Quantification of pelvic organ prolapse was performed for each patient. The bone mineral density measurements of the lumbar vertebrae by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry were compared between the groups with and without pelvic organ prolapse. Results The mean T-scores for the lumbar area for women with or without pelvic organ prolapse were comparable between the study groups. Conclusions It appears that presence of pelvic organ prolapse in early postmenopausal women is not helpful in predicting osteoporosis.Publication Metadata only Association of serum paraoxonase concentration with serum lipid levels and bone mineral density measurements in early postmenopausal women(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2015) YOLDEMİR, AHMET TEVFİK; Yoldemir, T.; Yavuz, D. G.Objective To determine the association of serum paraoxonase concentration with serum lipid levels and bone mineral density in early postmenopausal Turkish women. Design One hundred healthy postmenopausal women were included in a cross-sectional study in a University hospital clinic. Blood was drawn from women who had bone mineral density (BMD) measurements during routine visits. BMD of the lumbar vertebrae was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The serum paraoxonase concentration and serum lipid levels were measured. Women were divided into two groups: those with normal lumbar vertebrae BMD and those with osteopenic lumbar vertebrae. Serum paraoxonase concentration was compared between the groups. The correlation between serum paraoxonase concentration and bone mass parameters was performed using Pearson's test. Results The paraoxonase concentration in the osteopenic group was significantly lower than in the group with normal lumbar vertebrae BMD. The paraoxonase concentration was moderately correlated with total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels among early postmenopausal Turkish women. Conclusions Early postmenopausal women with osteopenic lumbar vertebrae have significantly lower paraoxonase concentration than those with normal lumbar vertebrae BMD. Further studies are needed to clarify the associations between the osteoporosis risk factors and paraoxonase concentration during late postmenopausal years.
