me video microscopic techniques the research team found that either estrogen alone or the natural progesterone did not cause such vascular toxicity. They also showed that estrogen protects blood vessels of the brain and surrounding areas and prevents inflammation and clot formation.

In a related study the team showed that estrogen might protect blood vessels in the brain from beta-amyloid, a key factor contributing to memory loss in Alzheimer's disease. The article "In vivo cerebrovascular actions of amyloid B-peptides and the protective effect of conjugated estrogens" is published in the current issue of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease 5 (2003).

This supports recommendations to use estrogen early and in low doses to protect the brain," Dr. Thomas said.
