The effect of hormone therapy on olfactory sensitivity is dependent on apolipoprotein E genotype.

Hormones and behavior - 1 Sept 2008

Sundermann Erin E, Gilbert Paul E, Murphy Claire

Abstract excerpt

Patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) show a deficit in olfactory threshold sensitivity. The Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) epsilon4 allele is associated with increased risk of AD and earlier symptom onset. Hormone therapy (HT) may exert neuroprotective effects on brain areas affected by AD. The current study investigated the effect of HT on performance on an olfactory threshold test in epsilon4 positive and epsilon4...
