Genes linked with early menopause and the pathogenesis of its associated diseases: a systematic review

Abstract

Background Menopause is a biological process when a woman’s reproductive capability is no longer functional. A naturally or artificially caused premenopausal is known as early menopause occurs between the ages 40–45, which substantially impacts fertility and disease influenced by genetic plus environmental factors and their interactions. Women in early menopause are at greater risk of cardiovascular disease, general mortality, neurological disorders, osteoporosis, mental illness, and other problems. Main body A PubMed search of the electronic literature database yielded articles on early menopause and disease etiology. Several unique genes were identified, such as ESR1, ESR2, CYP1B1, BRSK1, HK3, andTMEM150B are associated with early menopause, and research focused on case-control, cohort, and cross-sectional studies are finding novel predisposition loci for early menopause. Conclusion The current study’s focus is to understand better the genetic aspects of early menopause. This knowledge will help researchers enhance EM etiology and identify biomarkers that may detect early development of the disease, allowing women at risk to begin family planning earlier.

The Menopausal Transition: Is the Hair Follicle “Going through Menopause”?

“…Estradiol extends the anagen phase of the hair cycle, promoting hair growth by augmenting the synthesis of crucial growth factors that stimulate the proliferation of follicular keratinocytes. This mechanism elucidates the decrease in hair renewal, growth, and thickness, and the thinning of hair observed during menopause [24].…”

Protective role of stem cells in POI: Current status and mechanism of action, a review article

“…Due to the effect of estrogen on cholesterol metabolism, decreasing coronary constriction and atherosclerotic plaques, low-level of estrogen in POI women can be a factor in increasing the risk of CVD in these patients [ 152 ]. MSCs are potent mediators of cardiac repair via stimulation of repair mechanisms, such as immunomodulatory effects, fibrosis inhibition, cardiac stem cell proliferation and differentiation of myocardial cells, and apoptosis resistance promotion ( Fig.…”

12 hetes edzésprogram hatékonyságának vizsgálata a menopauza éveiben jelentkező tünetek enyhítésére

“…A természetes menopauza időpontját elsősorban három faktor határozza meg, de kisebb mértékben számtalan más tényező is befolyásolással bír rá: 1.) a hormonális faktorok, ami a pajzsmirigy működésétől, a növekedési hormontól és az ösztrogén szintjétől függ (Laven, 2020;Thasneem et al, 2022), 2.) az életmódbeli faktorok, ide tartoznak az étkezési szokások, a fizikai aktivitás mértéke és az ülő életmód, amelyek mind jelentős befolyásolással bírnak (Acosta-Manzano et al, 2019) és 3.)…”
