The WHI triggered a great debate on Menopausal Hormonal Therapy. We now know that HT should not be used in cardio-vascular prevention. Many studies have yet been published regarding it's influence on breast cancers. Risks should be modulated in respect with the type of treatment and the targeted population. Only recently menopaused women or women suffering from invalidating menopausal symptoms should benefit from HT. When an HT is needed, the authors recommend the use of trans-cutaneous estrogens combined with natural oral progesterone. Every HT should be prescribed individually, according to the patient's aspirations and expectations.

The effects of estrogen depletion in female rats: differential influences on somato-motor and sensory cortices.
Biogerontology

Aging women experience a significant decline of ovarian hormones, particularly estrogen, following menopause, and become susceptible to cognitive and psychomotor deficits. Although the effects of estrogen depletion had been documented in the prefrontal and somatosensory cortices, its impact on somatomotor cortex, a region crucial for motor and cognitive functions, remains unclear. To explore this, we ovariectomized young adult female rats and fed subsequently with phytoestrogen-free diet and studied the effects of estrogen depletion on the somato-sensory and motor cortices.
