Abstract

Close
- Using the ovariectomized macaque model of postmenopausal women's health, we investigated the effects of long-term treatments (5 weeks—3 years) with estradiol, conjugated equine estrogens (CEE), esterified estrogens, progestins such as medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) and nomegestrol acetate, CEE + MPA, tamoxifen, soybean phytoestrogens (SPEs), a variety of putative selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), and androgens. Agents tested were selected on the basis of beneficial effects on arteries and/ or bone. Doses were scaled on a caloric or serum-concentration basis to approximate human clinical doses. We evaluated endometrial and mammary gland histopathology and morphometry and used immunohistochemistry to evaluate cell proliferation and expression of estrogen receptor alpha and progesterone receptor (PR). Both estradiol and CEE induced endometrial hyperplasia. MPA antagonized epithelial proliferation induced by CEE in endometrium and induced pseudodecidual stromal hyperplasia in some animals. Tamoxifen induced endometrial polyps, cystic hyperplasia, stromal fi brosis, and PR expression but not Ki-67 expression. SPEs were not estrogenic at dietary doses and antagonized estrogen-induced proliferation in the endometrium and breast. Nandrolone induced mucometra and an adenomyosis-like change. The potential SERM 17 alpha dihydroequilenin did not have uterotrophic or mammotrophic effects. In general, experimental findings in macaques have been predictive of outcomes in human clinical trials of the same agents.
