Estrogens - the Saviors of Cognitive Function?
Several studies suggest that estrogens have neuroprotective properties. Estrogens reduce apoptosis, have anti-inflammatory properties, and activate neurotrophic and regeneration associated genes. Even more, estrogens positively impact on cholinergic pathways in the brain including the hippocampus, which holds a central role for cognitive functioning, including memory [3]. Having this is mind, i...
متن کاملNucleotides: saviors of the cell
Nucleot ides : saviors of the cel l N ucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and the cell’s energy currency. Now, a report by Dhyan Chandra, Dean Tang (University of Texas, Smithville, TX), and colleagues reveals that these multifunctional molecules are also bodyguards, protecting healthy cells from apoptosis.

متن کاملEstrogens and brain function.
Cognitive decline is well recognized during ageing but is often accelerated in women after menopause. Studies have shown that there are significant gender differences in brain ageing with significantly greater changes in brain structure, function and metabolism between females and males. Estrogens exert protective effects on neuronal cells in culture but the exact underlying mechanism for their...
متن کاملEstrogens and epididymal function.
Estrogen is synthesized in the male reproductive system and is found in high concentrations in rete testis and seminal fluids. This luminal estrogen targets estrogen receptors (ER) along the male reproductive tract, and in particular the efferent ductules, where ERalpha is abundant. However, both ERalpha and ERbeta are found in various regions of the male reproductive tract. The transgenic ER k...
