2025-02-11
Abstract excerpt
Low 17β-estradiol (E2) in females of reproductive age, and marked E2 decline with menopause, contributes to heightened symptom severity in schizophrenia (i.e. cognitive dysfunction) and diminished response to antipsychotic medications. However, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. N -methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) hypofunction contributes to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia, yet impact of E2 depletion...
