PROBLEM    In this baseline study, our aim is to show the relationship of parameters and gonad hormones in menopausal and postmenopausal @entity1 . METHOD    Blood samples were taken from menopausal and postmenopausal @entity1 (12-14 months and >= 10 years, respectfully, since their last menstruation). Adolescents aged 13.7    0.7 were used as controls. @entity9646 were measured by ELISA and percentages of @entity1195 , @entity404 , @entity405 , CD3, @entity1075 , @entity1199 , @entity2902 and HLA-DR were measured by flow cytometry. RESULTS Both groups showed an increase in the percentage of CD3, @entity404 and @entity405 . Levels of @entity1075 were significantly lower in the postmenopausal group. However, changes in immunologic parameters during menopause were less marked than the hormonal changes observed in these groups. Most of the correlations LH       CD3 (-ve), LH       @entity2902 (-ve) and E2       @entity1075 (+ve) suggesting how menopausal @entity1 with particularly high LH or low E2 levels may be affected. Only CD3 and HLA-DR correlated with the hormonal changes in the postmenopausal group. @entity1199 levels were high in the menopausal group and low in the postmenopausal group; however, no correlation was observed. DISCUSSION    Menopause is characterized by increased levels of @entity1199 , which has critical immune-modulatory effects. These changes may be related to the overall hormonal change process observed during menopause.
