Mental stress is thought to underlie cardiovascular events, but there is information on oxidative stress induced by mental stress in association with cardiovascular responses in women. Using a sensitive assay for plasma 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal (HNE), as a marker for oxidative stress, we addressed the relation between pressor responses and oxidative stress induced by mental or physical stress in premenopausal and postmenopausal women. Healthy subjects (7 postmenopausal and 8 premenopausal women, in early and late follicular phases) were subjected to mental and physical stress evoked by a Color Word Test (CWT) and isometric handgrip, respectively. The CWT induced a rapid elevation of diastolic blood pressure (DBP), at a higher level in the postmenopausal than in the premenopausal women (p
