MENOPAUSE: Menopause Complex Changes Brain's Vascular SystemFrom: Hope Waltman (anonymous@obgyn.net)Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:33:41 -0500 (CDT)
After Menopause Complex Changes In The Brain's Vascular System Occur "In a new study, researchers at the University of Missouri have discovered significant changes in the brain's vascular system when the ovaries stop producing estrogen. MU scientists predict that currently used estrogen-based hormone therapies may complicate this process and may do more harm than good in postmenopausal women. Before menopause, the vascular system depends on estrogen for maintenance. When the body decreases its estrogen production, the body is unable to regulate blood vessels like it did before. After a period of deterioration, the body learns to adapt to the estrogen loss and eventually maintains the system in a different way. The study "PDGF/VEGF System Activation and Angiogenesis Following Initial Post Ovariectomy Meningeal Microvessel Loss," was recently published in Cell Cycle." http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/111560.php Regards, Hope Waltman, Fibroid Forum and WH Forum Moderator http://www.hopeforfibroids.org http://www.doctorsinfoweb.com/doctors.htm UTERINE FIBROIDS INFO: http://www.obgyn.net/fibroid-resource-center/
