Therefore, the brain hormonal milieu in which exogenous hormones are introduced is markedly different in menopause from that in menstruating women. In the ovariectomized animals, however, the hormonal changes in the animals are abrupt in contrast to the gradual hormonal changes found in the menopausal transition. It might be the concerted lack of estradiol and progesterone that facilitate the seizure susceptibility. Both estradiol and progesterone affect γ-amino butyric acid (GABA) ergic function (Scharfman et al, 2005; Nakumura et al, 2005; Kokate et al, 1994). The simultaneous decrease of estrogen and progesterone may thereby lead to a decrease in GABAergic inhibition, facilitating seizures.
