The aim of the study. Estimate microcirculatory parameters of myogenic range in postmenopausal women with normoglycemia, prediabetes and diabetes mellitus type 2. Material and methods. Among the surveyed 94 women (58.0 (53.0; 63.0) years old), in the natural menopause (duration 7.0 (2.0; 13.0) years), depending on the status of carbohydrate metabolism (WHO, 2011) by measuring the levels of glycated hemoglobin, we identified three groups: group 1 (n = 52) - with diabetes mellitus 2 type, 2 (n = 16) - with prediabetes, 3 (n = 26) - with normoglycaemia. We evaluated anthropometric and biochemical parameters; microcirculation was assessed by laser Doppler flowmetry. Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS software (version 17.0). The level of statistical significance of differences was at p ≤ 0.05. Results. Women with impaired glucose metabolism (group 1 and 2) with increased abdominal fat deposition have the elevated basal vasospasm and impaired microvascular reactivity due to increased myogenic tone. We found that group 1 has negative association of LDF parameters of myogenic range with blood pressure and duration of hypertension. We identified that increasing concentrations of atherogenic lipids contribute to basal and postocclusive vasodilation independently of the state of glucose metabolism. Conclusion. Identified associations and differences in the LDF parameters of myogenic range at the basal and reperfusion microcirculation reflect the increase of vasospasm and microcirculatory disturbances during progression of carbohydrate metabolism disorders in postmenopausal women.
