Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of estrogen deficiency and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on fibrinolytic activity in a rat mode of surgically-induced menopause. Methods: Twelve-week-old, sexually mature female Sprague-Dawley rats, each weighing 200–250 g, were randomly divided into four groups: (1) sham-operated group, (2) ovariectomy group, (3) ovariectomy group followed by oral administration of daily 17β-estradiol (0.02 mg/kg/day) (E2) + norethisterone acetate (0.01 mg/kg/day), and (4) ovariectomy group followed by oral administration of daily 17β-estradiol (0.01 mg/kg/day) + drospirenone (0.02 mg/kg/day). Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) antigen, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) antigen, and PAI-1/tPA levels were measured as markers of fibrinolysis in plasma and liver and brain tissue. Results: Compared with sham-operated rats, ovariectomized rats showed higher levels of fibrinolytic activity; however, the increased fibrinolytic activity in plasma and liver tissue was significantly reduced by HRT regimens. No change was observed in the levels of fibrinolytic activity in brain tissue. Conclusions: HRT showed beneficial effects by decreasing fibrinolytic activity related to surgically-induced menopause. Short-term HRT treatment was associated with a shift in the procoagulant-anticoagulant balance toward a procoagulant state.

Exchange Broadening

<div> <div> <div> <p>The zero- and double-quantum methyl TROSY Hahn-echo and the methyl <sup>1</sup>H-<sup>1</sup>H dipole- dipole cross-correlation nuclear magnetic resonance experiments enable estimation of multiple quantum chemical exchange broadening in methyl groups in proteins. The two relaxation rate constants are established to be linearly dependent using molecular dynamics simulations and empirical analysis of experimental data. This relationship allows chemical exchange broadening to be recognized as an increase in the Hahn-echo relaxation rate constant. The approach is illustrated by analyzing relaxation data collected at three temperatures for <i>E. coli </i>ribonuclease HI and by analyzing relaxation data collected for different cofactor and substrate complexes of <i>E. coli </i>AlkB. </p> </div> </div> </div>
