Heart rate and its variability change after the menopause.

Abstract:

:Resting heart rate and heart rate variability of 33 postmenopausal women were compared with those of 50 premenopausal women of comparable activity level, none of whom had used hormone replacement therapy. Heart rate was measured as the mean of at least 600 consecutive R-R intervals obtained from electrocardiograph (ECG) records, and its variability as the standard deviation of these intervals. Activity levels were assessed by a scale modified from the Allied Dunbar National Fitness Survey (1992). There was a significant reduction in both mean R-R interval and the standard deviation in the postmenopausal women who had experienced their last menstrual period (LMP) 1 year or more prior to the observations being made, but no observable changes during the first year post menopause.

  • Segmental heterogeneity of rat colonic electrogenic secretion in response to the bacterial enterotoxin Escherichia coli STa in vitro.

    abstract::The effects of the bacterial toxin Escherichia coli STa on electrogenic secretion in proximal, mid and distal rat colon were examined in vitro using the short-circuit current (Isc) as an index of secretion. All areas showed toxin-elevated Isc which was reduced by bumetanide. The proximal colon was the most sensitive (...
