Can estrogen keep you smart? Evidence from clinical studies Sherwin BBJ Psychiatry Neurosci 1999[Sep]; 24 (4): 315-21OBJECTIVE: To review and critically analyze the biological plausibility of and the clinical empirical evidence concerning a link between estrogen levels and memory in women. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE search of the literature published from 1980 to 1998. Studies published between 1952 and 1980 that were known to the author were also included. STUDY SELECTION: Sixteen prospective, placebo-controlled studies in humans. DATA SYNTHESIS: Most of the studies that used neuropsychological tests with known reliability and validity found that estrogen maintained aspects of memory in women. CONCLUSIONS: Estrogen specifically maintains verbal memory in women and may prevent or forestall the deterioration in short- and long-term memory that occurs with normal aging. There is also evidence that estrogen decreases the incidence of Alzheimer disease or retards its onset or both.|Cognition/*drug effects[MESH]|Estrogens/*pharmacology[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Hormone Replacement Therapy/methods[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Memory/*drug effects[MESH]|Menopause/physiology[MESH]|Neuropsychological Tests[MESH]|Prospective Studies[MESH] |
