AnnotationThis study investigated whether postmenopausal women on hormone replacement therapy status (HRT) would experience a greater reduction in oxidative stress after 24 weeks of aerobic exercise training compared to postmenopausal women not on HRT. Plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), an indicator of oxidative stress, was measured in 48 previously sedentary postmenopausal women on HRT (n=21) and not on HRT (n=27) before and after 24 weeks of aerobic exercise training. Results showed that aerobic exercise training significantly decreased oxidative stress in postmenopausal women. However, both HRT users and non-HRT users benefited equally. (KJ/RH).
