Neuroprotective Effects of Estrogens on Hippocampal Cells in Adult Female Rats After Status Epilepticus

Abstract

Our results suggest that estrogens can be beneficial in protecting against status epilepticus-induced hippocampal damage. Hormonal conditions may have differential effects on underlying epileptic state in some patients. Therefore, more studies are necessary to determine the prospective therapeutic advantage of hormonal treatment in seizure-related damage.
