The hormone estrogen may protect against age-related hippocampal atrophy.
2003 OCT 2 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- The hormone estrogen may protect against age-related hippocampal atrophy.
According to published research from the United States, "few studies have examined gender differences in hippocampal volumes, and the potential effect of estrogen on these measures has not been well studied."
"We used MRI to measure hippocampal volumes in elderly Mexican American men and women subjects in order to determine if there were gender differences and if estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) had an effect on hippocampal volume in postmenopausal women. MRI measures of hippocampal volumes (normalized to intracranial volume) were compared in 59 women and 38 men," reported J.L. Eberling and colleagues, University of California at Davis, Department of Neurology.
"Further comparisons were made between men subjects, women subjects taking ERT, and women subjects not taking ERT. There were no significant effects of gender on normalized hippocampal volumes. However, women ...
