A bstract : Over the past two decades, many clinical trials have been conducted using different forms of estrogen therapy with and without progestin supplementation in an effort to treat diagnosed Alzheimer's disease. Design variations among these trials may account for the inconsistent results of these investigations and the persistent gap in knowledge about the appropriate use of estrogen in the treatment paradigm for degenerative diseases.
