The University of Chicago researchers in on Alzheimer's disease for women, brain research, and not suffer from this disease and other conditions similar to those of women compared to patients in the brain is less estrogen content.
Lorena · Lee and others in the United States National Academy of Sciences published reports that it helps explain why dementia incidence higher than male of female. Animal experiments have shown that the lack of estrogen, the brain can accelerate Alzheimer's typical characteristics — brain amyloid deposition plaque formation. The researchers also noted that, since Sera estrogen level in patients groups and reference groups are the same, so blood estradiol analysis does not support the argument.
Researchers believe that the brain estrogen level low means that the brain cannot produce estrogen, this is Alzheimer's disease onset of a key. To explore brain estrogen levels and dementia attack and gravity of the Association, researchers have their own lack of estrogen experimental rat synthetase and itself carry a form of dementia plaque deposits of protein of rat offspring with fertility and found descendants rat brain estrogen level greatly decreased, while amyloid deposition plaques appeared in advance.
The researchers noted that animal experiments but also note that not all postmenopausal women will have Alzheimer's disease. In their view, this situation with the brain itself, which may have genetic factors at play. (Finished)
