Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of the effects of raloxifene and conjugated equine estrogen on plasma homocysteine levels in healthy postmenopausal women.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the long-term effects of raloxifene on fasting plasma homocysteine levels in postmenopausal women compared with conjugated equine estrogen (CEE). DESIGN:Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. SETTING:Outpatient department of a university hospital. PATIENT(S):Fifty-two hysterectomized, healthy postmenopausal women. INTERVENTION(S):Oral raloxifene in two dosages (60 mg/d [n=13] and 150 mg/d [n=13]), oral CEE (0.625 mg/d [n=13], and placebo (n=13) were given for 24 months. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S):Fasting plasma homocysteine concentrations. RESULT(S):Plasma homocysteine levels were not altered in the placebo group. After 12 months, a significant reduction versus baseline in the mean plasma homocysteine level (-16%) was found only in the raloxifene 150-mg group. The mean change in plasma homocysteine levels within this group also was significantly different from the changes versus baseline found in the placebo group (+2%) and the raloxifene 60-mg group (-2%), but not different from those found in the CEE group (-8%). After 24 months, plasma homocysteine levels were decreased significantly in the raloxifene 150-mg and CEE groups compared with both baseline (-13% and -10%, respectively) and placebo values (-15% and -11%, respectively). No significant change in plasma homocysteine levels was observed in the raloxifene 60-mg group. CONCLUSION(S):Raloxifene has a favorable, dose-related effect on plasma homocysteine levels in postmenopausal women.
