Women and Cognition: Insulin, Menopause & Alzheimer's Part 3 -Filomena Trindade MD, MPH

-Filomena Trindade MD, MPH Women and Cognition: Insulin, Menopause & Alzheimer's Part 3
"Women and Cognition: Insulin, Menopause And Alzheimer's" is the presentation given by Filomena Trindade at the February 21, 2019 meeting of the Silicon Valley Health Institute in Palo Alto, CA.

(APOLOGIES in advance for the less-than-ideal audio on this video clip. This is not normal.)

Preclinical studies have shown that, during menopausal transition, the estrogen network uncouples from the brain bioenergetic system. The resulting hypometabolic state could serve as the substrate for neurological dysfunction. Indeed, translational brain imaging studies demonstrate that 40-60 year-old perimenopausal and postmenopausal women exhibit an Alzheimer’s disease phenotype characterized by decreased metabolic activity and increased brain beta amyloid deposition as compared to premenopausal women and to age-matched men. This presentation will discuss the menopausal transition as a window of opportunity for therapeutic interventions to compensate for the brain bioenergetic crisis and combat the subsequent increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease in women.
