The effects of estrogen replacement therapy, selective estrogen receptor modulators, or tibolone on vaginal squamous cell maturation in postmenopausal women are not well established. Resveratrol (3,5,4'-trans-trihydroxystilbene) has been shown to bind the estrogen receptor in rat uteri. The aim of this study was to cytologically evaluate vaginal smears from ovariectomized rats treated with resveratrol, raloxifene, tibolone and conjugated equine estrogen, and to compare each drug with regard to vaginal epithelial maturation.
