RESUMO

The post-menopause is marked by physiological hemodynamic and metabolic changes. The estrogen replacement therapy is a way to reduce the consequences of hormone deficiency and physical exercise contributes significantly to the reduction of cardiovascular risk. The aim of this study was to evaluate in post-menopausal women the isolated and associated effects of oral estrogen therapy (TRH) and physical training (TF) in the neural and hemodynamic responses during baseline and "handgrip" exercises. Forty-five women (51 ± 3 years), hysterectomized, with or without ovaries, healthy, participated of an initial session and then they were divided into 4 groups SEDPLA (n = 11), SED-TRH (n = 14), TF-PLA (n = 12) and TF-TRH (n = 8). The TRH groups received estradiol valerate 1 mg / day; PLA placebo; TF, performed aerobic exercise on a cycle ergometer for 50 minutes, 3 times a week and SED remained sedentary. All subjects participated in a second experimental session after 6 months of follow-up. In the experimental sessions peripheral sympathetic nerve activity (ANSP - microneurography), blood pressure, heart rate (FC - oscillometry - Dixtal lower limb), forearm blood flow (FSA - plethysmography) were evaluated at the baseline period and during static and dynamic "handgrip" exercises at 30% of the maximum force. ANOVA was used for the statistica analysis. The TF alone decreased ANSP from 40 ± 7 to 34 ± 4 bursts/min, P = 0.01 and increased FSA 1.92 ± 0.96 to 2.65 ± 1.34 ml (min.100ml), P = 0.03 at the baseline. The association of TRH and TF reduced HR at the baseline from 65 ± 8 to 62 ± 7 bpm (P=0.01) and during exercise with static and dynamic "handgrip". HRT alone or associated with TF decreased the HR responses during static and dynamic "handgrip exercises. In conclusion, the interventions alone or in an associated way promote neural and hemodynamic changes that may contribute to cardiovascular risk reduction in healthy postmenopausal women.
