- Reposted by astrocyteNetOur new preprint from Dr Jennifer Richards now back to 🇸🇪: we looked at whether pregnancy history & a high fat/high sugar diet influenced how estradiol affected brain health in middle age- might this address inconsistencies in human findings? (Yes) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
