Репликативные и биохимические аспекты старения у женщин с преждевременной недостаточностью яичников

BACKGROUND: BACKGROUND: One of the most dangerous reproductive pathologies is primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). Except manifestation in the age <40 years old it leads to demographical losses, decrease of chances for healthy aging. POI can be characterized as summary of secondary amenorrhea, total estrogenic deficiency and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. Hence, POI has probably harmful effect on telomere length. Telomere length determining and sex steroid replacement therapy may be promising and effective to prevent decrease of life quality/ longevity among females with POI. AIM: AIM: To evaluate features of replicative (telomere length) and biochemical (metabolic syndrome) markers among females with primary ovarian insufficiency. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MATERIALS AND METHODS. Research has been provided in collaboration between Endocrinology Research Centre of the Russian Ministry of Health and Lomonosov Moscow State University Medical Research and Educational Centre in the period since 10.01.2021 until 01.08.2022. Females with non-iatrogenic hypergonadotropic hypogonadism caused by primary ovarian insufficiency (n=33); healthy females of reproductive age (18–49 y.o.; n=24). Patients have undergone laboratory genetic (leucocyte telomere length), biochemical analyses. DNA extraction — with Qiagen DNA blood mini kit (Germany). Leukocyte telomere length — with real-time polymerase chain reaction PCR (Flow-fish). Soft program IBM SPSS Statistics (version 26,0 for Windows). RESULTS: RESULTS. Females with POI due to estrogenic deficiency have slightly shorter mean telomere length (10,0 [7,9–10,7] kB, than healthy females of reproductive age (10,8 [10,0–13,1] кБ, р<0,001). Females with POI due to estrogenic deficiency have higher chances for development of carbohydrate metabolism disturbances (prediabetes) (р<0,043), increasement of FSH level (р<0,001). FSH level correlates moderately and negatively (ρ=0,434) with leukocyte telomere length (р<0,001). CONCLUSIONS: CONCLUSIONS. Female with POI and receiving sex steroid replacement therapy have decrease of telomere length and increase of chances for carbohydrate metabolism disturbances in opposite to healthy reproductive females.
