The University of Wisconsin Madison has published the results of a study using an estradiol patch on post meno pausal women. After 90 days of wearing the patch, the women performed better in memory testing.
Estradiol is a hormone, the most potent naturally occurring estrogen. Estrogen is a group of hormones that promote the development and maintenance of the female characteristics of the human body. The patch containing estradiol is worn on the womans body and delivers the estradiol through the skin.
Lab results suggest estrodiol helps break down Alzheimer's disease related amyloid plaques in the brain. Reducing the Alzheimer's ability to form the changes in the body needed for the disease is a form of prevention. Because estradiol is naturally occurring in the body its use to change brain mechanisms is well received.
The women participating in the study were diagnosed with mild to moderate symptoms of the Alzheimer's disease process. Note the study report is for a 90 day period. This is a short time and would not reveal any long term effect.
