Estrogen and memory effects

October 28th, 2006 |

Yet another study (presented at the American Academy of Neurology Annual Meeting) has come out showing that estrogen does not improve working memory or executive function in postmenopausal women.

The study does show, however, that premenopausal women who’ve had their ovaries removed may benefit from estrogen replacement therapy when it comes to working memory.

Premenopausal women who are having their estrogen production suppressed (GnRH agonist therapy) also appear to have deficits in working memory function.
