摘要
Alzheimer’s disease is characterised by the gradual but progressive loss of memory and other cognitive abilities. Pathological features include the accumulation of neurofibrillary tangles, neuritic plaques and β-amyloid protein within vulnerable regions of the brain. A number of actions of estrogen have the potential to affect brain function and influence the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease.
