Postmenopausal women are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease (CVD) than premenopausal women. Increased vasoconstriction in the peripheral vasculature may underlie this risk. In vascular smooth muscle, cytochrome P450 4A (CYP4A) enzymes form the vasoconstrictor 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE). CYP4A modulation of alpha(1)-adrenergic vasoconstriction is increased in aging male rats; however, this pathway has not been investigated in aging females. To generate an appropriate model of menopause, we ovariectomized aged Sprague-Dawley rats to create an aged, ovarian-depleted phenotype. Because estrogen has profound effects on the peripheral vasculature, we also determined the effect of estrogen replacement on CYP4A modulation of vasoconstriction.
