A study led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine show changes in the brain during menopause using PET imaging technology: https://lnkd.in/d2PBRMz3 ✔ The study, led by researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine, demonstrates the use of PET imaging with an ER-binding tracer, 18F-fluoroestradiol (FES), as a novel method for tracking estrogen activity in the brain, revealing its potential to predict menopause-related cognitive and mood symptoms. ✔ PET scans reveal a significant increase in brain estrogen receptor (ER) density during menopause, with postmenopausal women showing higher ER density than premenopausal women, indicating the brain's compensatory response to declining estrogen levels. ✔ Findings suggest that elevated ER density persists up to a decade after menopause, highlighting a potentially extended window for effective estrogen therapy, which the researchers plan to further investigate for its long-term effects on brain health and symptom relief.

I’d LOVE to be part of this study!!! I can TOTALLY relate!!! My suggestion/solution is to get bio-identical pellets!!! I’ve been getting one every 4months for the past year!!! I’m almost back to my “normal” self!!! In Europe, bio-identical hormone therapy is part of “well visits”!!! I can’t wait until pellets are covered by insurance here in the USA 🇺🇸
