Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of raloxifene, estradiol valerate plus dienogest, and soy isoflavones (genistein) on serum concentrations of high-sensitive C-reactive protein in healthy postmenopausal women. METHODS: The 80 healthy postmenopausal women enrolled in the study were randomly allocated to receive 60 mg of raloxifene, 2 mg of estradiol valerate plus dienogest, 40 mg of genistein, or placebo (n=20 in each group). Blood samples were collected at the start of the study and at 3 and 6 months. Lipid profile was also determined. RESULTS: Only the group receiving estradiol valerate plus dienogest showed an increase in serum levels of high-sensitive C-reactive protein compared with baseline values and values in the control and other groups. All 3 treatments resulted in an increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and a decrease in total, low-density, and very-low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels. CONCLUSIONS: Estradiol valerate plus dienogest, but not raloxifene and genistein, increase serum high-sensitive C-reactive protein levels. All 3 treatments, however, have an estrogen-like effect on serum lipid profile.

We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • In that trial, inflammatory markers declined more in the Mediterranean-style diet group even after controlling for weight loss.

    “Interestingly, even after controlling for weight loss, the inflammatory markers declined more in subjects following the Mediterranean-style diet.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
