Modulation of neurodegenerative diseases through the estrogen receptor

摘要

Methods for modulating hormonal pathways involving the estrogen receptor in a subject with a neurodegenerative disorder, are provided. Estrogen receptor activity is modulated by administering an effective amount of an estrogen receptor modulating pharmacological agent to a subject such that the estrogen receptor modulating pharmacological agent interacts with the estrogen receptor and alters the expression of a protein associated with the neurodegenerative disease.
