Вторичная аменорея — патология, которая может возникнуть как в результате функциональной гипоталамической аменореи (ФГА), так и преждевременной недостаточности яичников (ПНЯ). В последние годы ведется изучение метаболома при гинекологических заболеваниях с целью диагностики, подбора медикаментозного лечения и мониторинга терапевтических результатов. Общеизвестно, что продукция кортизола увеличивается при хроническом стрессе и синдроме относительного энергетического дефицита. Таким образом, логично ожидать, что у больных с функциональной аменореей на фоне снижения массы тела можно увидеть увеличение этого параметра, который может негативно влиять на менструальную функцию.</p></sec><sec><title>ЦЕЛЬ</title><p>ЦЕЛЬ. Изучить и сравнить показатели многокомпонентного стероидного профиля крови (мультистероидный анализ), включающего андростендион, кортикостерон, тестостерон, кортизол, кортизон и дегидроэпиандростерон (ДГЭА), у пациенток с вторичной аменореей различного генеза (ФГА, ПНЯ) и выявить изменения целевых показателей с помощью высокоэффективной жидкостной хроматографии с тандемным масс-спектрометрическим детектированием (ВЭЖХ-МС/МС).</p></sec><sec><title>МАТЕРИАЛЫ И МЕТОДЫ</title><p>МАТЕРИАЛЫ И МЕТОДЫ. Проведено одноцентровое одномоментное сравнительное исследование 2 популяций женщин 18–39 лет: 1 — пациентки с вторичной аменореей различного генеза (ФГА, ПНЯ) (n=120), 2 — здоровые женщины (n=34). Исследованы показатели стероидного профиля крови, проведенного методом ВЭЖХ-МС/МС.</p></sec><sec><title>РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ</title><p>РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ. Всего было обследовано 154 женщины. Уровень кортикостерона оказался самым низким в группе ПНЯ — 3,95 нмоль/л [2,4; 5,7] (р&lt;0,0001), по остальным группам статистически значимой разницы не выявлено. Мы не зарегистрировали гиперкортизолемию ни в одной из групп, а также статистически значимых отличий в зависимости от диагноза по данному показателю, как и по уровню кортизона, и ДГЭА.</p></sec><sec><title>ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ</title><p>ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ. В настоящем исследовании, основанном на целевом количественном анализе стероидных гормонов, их предшественников и метаболитов с применением технологии ВЭЖХ-МС/МС, были охарактеризованы особенности стероидного профиля крови у пациенток с вторичной аменореей. Профиль имеет сходные характеристики у всех пациенток с вторичной аменореей вне зависимости от основного заболевания, что свидетельствует о едином механизме ее развития. Вместе с тем выявленное снижение уровня кортикостерона у пациенток с ПНЯ и отсутствие гиперкортизолемии у женщин с ФГА представляет особый интерес и требует дальнейшего углубленного изучения.</p></sec></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><sec><title>BACKGROUND</title><p>BACKGROUND. Secondary amenorrhea is a pathological condition that may develop as a result of either functional hypothalamic amenorrhea (FHA) or primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). In recent years, metabolomic studies in gynecology have gained importance for improving diagnostics, optimizing pharmacological treatment, and monitoring therapeutic outcomes. It is well established that cortisol production increases in response to chronic stress and relative energy deficiency syndrome. Therefore, it is reasonable to expect elevated cortisol levels in patients with functional amenorrhea associated with weight loss, which may adversely affect menstrual function.</p></sec><sec><title>OBJECTIVE</title><p>OBJECTIVE. To investigate and compare the parameters of the multicomponent blood steroid profile (multisteroid analysis), including androstenedione, corticosterone, testosterone, cortisol, cortisone, and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), in patients with secondary amenorrhea of different origins (FHA, POI), and to identify alterations in target markers using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS).</p></sec><sec><title>MATERIALS AND METHODS</title><p>MATERIALS AND METHODS. A single-center cross-sectional comparative study was conducted involving two populations of women aged 18–39 years: (1) patients with secondary amenorrhea of various origins (FHA, POI) (n=120), and (2) healthy women (n=34). Blood steroid profile parameters were assessed using HPLC-MS/MS.</p></sec><sec><title>RESULTS</title><p>RESULTS. A total of 154 women were examined. The lowest corticosterone levels were observed in the POI group — 3.95 nmol/L [2.4; 5.7] (p&lt;0.0001). No statistically significant differences were found between other groups. Hypercortisolemia was not detected in any of the study participants, nor were there significant differences in cortisol, cortisone, or DHEA levels between groups.</p></sec><sec><title>CONCLUSION</title><p>CONCLUSION. In this study, based on a targeted quantitative analysis of steroid hormones, their precursors, and metabolites using HPLC-MS/MS technology, we characterized the features of the blood steroid profile in patients with secondary amenorrhea. The profile demonstrated similar characteristics across all amenorrhea types, regardless of etiology, suggesting a common underlying mechanism. However, the observed decrease in corticosterone levels in POI patients and the absence of hypercortisolemia in FHA women are of particular interest and warrant further investigation.</p></sec></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>аменорея</kwd><kwd>гипогонадизм</kwd><kwd>преждевременная недостаточность яичников</kwd><kwd>функциональная гипоталамическая аменорея</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>amenorrhea</kwd><kwd>hypogonadism</kwd><kwd>premature ovarian insufficiency</kwd><kwd>functional hypothalamic amenorrhea</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Работа выполнена в рамках государственного задания №123021300169-4 «Эпигенетические предикторы и метаболомная составляющая аменореи различного генеза у женщин репродуктивного возраста», 2023–2025 гг.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><ref id="cit1"><element-citation><name><surname>Bondarenko</surname> <given-names>Bondarenko K.R.</given-names> </name> <name><surname>Dobrokhotova</surname> <given-names>Dobrokhotova Yu.E.</given-names> </name>  <article-title>Clinical masks of secondary amenorrhea: treatment of the disease rather than its symptom</article-title> <source>Akusherstvo i ginekologiia</source> <year>2021</year> <month>08</month> <fpage>206</fpage> <lpage>218</lpage> <volume>8_2021</volume> <object-id pub-id-type="doi" specific-use="metadata">10.18565/aig.2021.8.206-218</object-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="cit2"><element-citation><name><surname>Saadedine</surname> <given-names>Mariam</given-names> </name> <name><surname>Berga</surname> <given-names>Sarah L.</given-names> </name> <name><surname>Faubion</surname> <given-names>Stephanie S.</given-names> </name> <name><surname>Shufelt</surname> <given-names>Chrisandra L.</given-names> </name> <article-title>The silent pandemic of stress: impact on menstrual cycle and ovulation</article-title> <source>Stress</source> <year>2025</year> <month>01</month> <volume>28</volume> <issue>1</issue> <object-id pub-id-type="doi" specific-use="metadata">10.1080/10253890.2025.2457767</object-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="cit3"><element-citation><name><surname>Absatarova</surname> <given-names>Yu.
