| Description | "New study shows that a long period of estrogen deprivation can lead to loss of sensitivity and protective effects in the brain and can weaken areas normally resistant to stroke damage." This press release describes the experimental design and findings from the published study "Estrogen Attenuates Ischemic Oxidative Damage via an Estrogen Receptor alpha-Mediated Inhibition of NADPH Oxidase Activation" by Quang-Guang Zhang, Limor Raz, Ruimin Wang, Dong Han, Liesl De Sevilla, Fang Yang, Ratna K. Vadlamudi, and Darrell W. Brann in The Journal of Neuroscience, November 2009. | |
