Estrogen Lowers Alzheimer β-Amyloid Generation by Stimulating trans-Golgi Network Vesicle Biogenesis

Estrogen reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease in post-menopausal women, β-amyloid (Aβ) burden in animal models of Alzheimer's disease, and secretion of Aβ from neuronal cultures. The biological basis for these effects remains unknown. Here, utilizing cell-free systems derived from both neuroblastoma cells and primary neurons, we demonstrate that 17β-estradiol (17β-E2) stimulates formation of the β-amyloid from the Aβ the of and the these that effects the in and the of the of Estrogen reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease in post-menopausal women, β-amyloid (Aβ) burden in animal models of Alzheimer's disease, and secretion of Aβ from neuronal cultures.
