Most of us suffer from this disease We may have thought it just had to do with age, but… Gender also has an impact on Alzheimer’s disease.

But why is the incidence of Alzheimer’s disease higher in women? This question It’s a puzzle that scientists have been trying to answer for years.

Two new studies provide better insight into the relationship between hormones and the gut microbiome.

Researchers from the University of Chicago, Estrogen in the onset and progression of Alzheimer’s disease They discovered that it plays a crucial role.

In experiments with mice, estrogen was found in the brain Increases the accumulation of amyloid beta proteins was seen.

In female mice the intestinal flora is disturbed and estrogen levels were found to be elevated. Furthermore, blocking estrogen production reduced amyloid accumulation.

Research shows that there is a complex interaction between estrogen and the microbiome and may have an impact on Alzheimer’s disease.

Researchers, Changes in estrogen levels in Alzheimer’s pathology They argue that it has a direct impact on The findings could contribute to the development of new approaches to treating Alzheimer’s disease.

However Stopping estrogen production is not a healthy option. is emphasized. Therefore, more research is needed to better understand the relationship between Alzheimer’s disease and the gut microbiome.

There is another topic that has been put back on the agenda by the studies.

In postmenopause to support women’s estrogen levels We should not forget the importance of the hormone replacement therapies used.

Researchers; interactions on brain functions How does it cause changes? They want to investigate it further.

Studies help us treat Alzheimer’s disease more effectively or it can help us reevaluate current practices.
