Development of Biomarkers for Monitoring Menopause in Women
Sponsor: Fu Jen Catholic University Hospital
Summary
This cross-sectional study aims to develop and validate mitochondrial biomarkers for monitoring menopause in women. The study will involve 100 participants divided into three groups: reproductive period, perimenopausal transition period, and postmenopausal period. Peripheral blood samples will be collected, and mitochondrial quality and quantity will be assessed using both qualitative and quantitative analyses. The study will identify potential biomarkers through metabolomics and validate them for monitoring the perimenopausal transition, providing a novel approach for women's health management during menopause.
