tailieunhanh - TOWARDS NEW THERAPIES FOR PARKINSON'S DISEASE

The hippocampus and cerebral cortex are areas associated with seizure initiation and propagation. It is therefore discussed how pathological disturbances in the local estrogen production after menopause may contribute to an increase in seizures in some women (Veliskova, 2007). Estrone is the primary estrogen after menopause, and its main source is subcutaneous fat. This might be of importance for overweight women with epilepsy. Little is known on the influence of estrone on epilepsy. An altered ratio of estradiol/estriol/estrone might be of importance; however, this has not been investigated. Most likely, however, the hormonal changes in menopause may not affect the different types of epilepsy in the same way | TOWARDS NEW THERAPIES FOR PARKINSON S DISEASE Edited by David I.
