Are Estrogens Neuroprotective – Do they Slow or Prevent Alzheimers?

Estrogens are pivotal regulators of brain function, exerting profound effects from early embryonic development to aging. Extensive experimental evidence underscores the multifaceted protective roles of estrogens on neurons and neurotransmitter systems, particularly in the context of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Studies have consistently revealed a greater risk of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) development in women compared to men, with postmenopausal women exhibiting heightened susceptibility. This connection between hormone levels and long-term estrogen deprivation highlights the significance of estrogen signaling in Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) progression.

Study Finds Simple Maternal Biomarker Test Reduces Neonatal Complications

Preterm birth is defined as any birth that occurs before 37 weeks of gestation and is the leading cause of illness and death among newborns. The 2023 March of Dimes Report Card reveals that more than one in ten infants were born prematurely in the United States in the past five consecutive years and for the third consecutive year, the March of Dimes Annual Report Card has given the United States a D+ for the country’s persistently high preterm birth rate.
