We recruited 112 women aged 45 to 55 years \(average age 50,73 ± 1,82 years\) with mild essential hypertension confirmed by conventional blood pressure measurements and 24 h ABP monitoring \(SpaceLabs 90207\), without antihypertensive agents during last 4 weeks. The study population were divided into groups \- postmenopausal \(group A\; n = 61\; age 51,03 ± 1,39 years\) and premenopausal \(group B\; n = 51\; age 50,37 ± 2,19 years\). There was no significant difference between groups in age. The postmenopausal period was recognized on base of plasma 17 β oestradiol \(< 50 pg\/ml\), FSH activities \(> 30 U\/1\), and history \(a time period from menopause at least 6 months\). None of the women had target organ damage \- left ventricular hypertrophy, diastolic dysfunction or carotid intima\-media thickness 2\: 0,9 mm, nor other risk factors \- obesity \(BMI 2\: 30 kg\/m2\), diabetes mellitus, present or during last 3 months cigarette smoking, inflammation and chronic disorders, taking hormone therapy. Detailed history and physical examination including anthropometric measurements were done in all women. The function of autonomic nervous system was evaluated through heart rate variability in 24 h Holter recordings. Blood levels of creatinine, cholest"]
