Estradiol Attenuates Ischemia-Induced Death of Hippocampal Neurons and Enhances Synaptic Transmission in Aged, Long-Term Hormone-Deprived Female Rats

BACKGROUND: Transient global forebrain ischemia causes selective, delayed death of hippocampal CA1 pyramidal neurons, and the ovarian hormone 17β-estradiol (E2) reduces neuronal loss in young and middle-aged females. The neuroprotective efficacy of E2 after a prolonged period of hormone deprivation...
