Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of menopause on obesity energy balance and insulin in postmenopausal obese women
Detailed Description:
The effect of menopause on body composition and cardiovascular risk in healthy caucasian women has been the subject of much study In contrast there are few data available on menopause in African-American women Since menopause is associated with potentially preventable health risks in women this proposal is aimed at characterizing the perimenopausal period in terms of body fat energy balance and insulin action in both caucasian and African-American women
The study will address 4 general hypotheses
Menopause increases both total and visceral abdominal fat
Changes in body composition and body weight at menopause are mediated at least in part by changes in 24-hour energy expenditure andor food intake
Menopause results in decreased insulin sensitivity that may predispose certain women to develop diabetes later in life
African-American women may respond to the shifts in reproductive hormones at menopause differently than caucasian women
