Neuroprotective effects of estradiol in hippocampal neurons and glia of middle age mice
During aging the hippocampus experiences structural, molecular, and functional alterations. Protection from age-related disorders is provided by several factors, including estrogens. Since aging defects start at middle age, we studied if 17 β-estradiol (E2) protected the hippocampus at this age peri...
