Why is Alzheimer’s More Common in Women?

Most of us are suffering from this disease We may have thought it was only related to age, but Gender also has an impact on Alzheimer’s.

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 a better understanding of 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 critical role.

In experiments conducted on mice, estrogen was found in the brain Increases amyloid beta protein accumulation was seen.

In female mice intestinal flora is disrupted and estrogen levels were found to be increased. Additionally, 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 state that it has a direct impact on The findings may 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 issue that the studies have brought to the agenda again.

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

Researchers; interactions on brain functions How did it cause changes? They aim to examine it in more detail.

Studies help us treat Alzheimer’s more effectively or it may help us re-evaluate current practices.
