1 Gonadotropin and Sex Steroid Levels in HIVinfected Premenopausal Women and Their Association with Subclinical Atherosclerosis in HIVinfected and -uninfected Women in the Women s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) ROKSANA KARIM, MBBS, PHD UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES, CA
2 Background Prolonged amenorrhea in HIV-infected women Early onset of menopause in HIV-infected women Observations suggestive of altered gonadotropin and sex hormone levels Gonadal hormones not studies thoroughly in HIV infected women
3 Background Endogenous sex hormones associated with atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease (CVD) and CVD risk factors Risk of CVD elevated in HIV-infection Impact of these endocrine disruptions on atherosclerosis has not been evaluated in women living with, or at risk for HIV infection
4 Objectives To compare gonadotropin and sex hormone levels between HIV-infected and HIV-negative premenopausal women To investigate the association of gonadotropin and sex hormone concentration with subclinical atherosclerosis in HIV-infected and HIV-negative premenopausal women
5 Methods Study design: Cross-sectional Study population: Women participating in the Women s Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) Premenopausal No history of oophorectomy No breast feeding Not taking exogenous hormones in past 12 months Sex hormones measured at or before Carotid artery ultrasound visit
6 Methods Subclinical atherosclerosis: Assessed by B-mode ultrasound scan of the carotid artery measuring Intima-media thickness (CIMT) Distensibility : [{2(D S -D D )/D D }/PP] x 106/133.3 D S = diameter at systole; D d = diameter at diastole; PP = pulse pressure Measured once between WIHS visits 20 and 22 (April 2004 and September 2005)
7 Methods Hormone analytes: Gonadotropin and female sex hormones: FSH, E2, and inhibin B Sample from 584 women (414 HIV+, 170 HIV-) collected on one of days 2 through 4 of mensutrual cycle Androgens and SHBG: T, DHEAS, and SHBG Random sample from 1094 women (771 HIV+, 323 HIV-) Assessed between WIHS visits 18 and 20 (April 2003 and October 2004)
8 Statistical analysis Median concentrations of the hormones were compared between HIV+ and HIV- women using Wilcoxon non-parametric test Similar testing done for comparison between current HAART users vs. non-haart users Multiple linear regression models were used to correlate the hormones with each of the atherosclerosis outcomes

15 Summary results Compared to HIV-uninfected, E2, T and DHEAS concentrations were significantly lower and SHBG was higher in HIV-infected women. T was significantly positively associated with distensibility among HIV-infected women and the magnitude of association did not differ by CD4 cell count. E2 was significantly positively associated with distensibility among HIV-infected women with CD4 count <350 cells/µl.
16 Conclusions HIV-infected women had estrogen and androgen insufficiency compared to HIV-uninfected premenopausal women. T deficiency is linked with carotid artery stiffness regardless of immune suppression. E2 deficiency is linked with carotid stiffness among immunocompromised HIV-infected women. Further research is warranted to understand the impact of endocrine dysregulation on the accelerated CVD risk in HIV-infected women.
