Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the effects of hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) on cerebral blood flow in 20 postmenopausal women, comparing them with a control group of 10 menstruating women.
- Before starting HRT, the postmenopausal women showed lower cerebral blood flow and higher severity of climacteric symptoms, but after 12 months of treatment, there was a significant improvement in both symptoms and blood flow.
- The results indicated that HRT not only alleviates menopausal symptoms but also increases regional cerebral blood flow in postmenopausal women, suggesting potential cognitive benefits.
