Modulation of the sleep electroencephalogram by estrogen replacement in postmenopausal women
Abstract
Objective We performed an examination of the effects of estrogen replacement on the sleep electroencephalogram in postmenopausal women.Study design A sleep electroencephalogram was recorded in 11 postmenopausal women with and without estrogen administered by skin patch (50 microg of estradiol per day).Results Estrogen enhanced rapid-eye-movement sleep (50 +/- 4 vs 39 +/- 5 minutes, P <.05) and reduced time awake (12 +/- 5 vs 20 +/- 6 minutes, P <.05) during the first 2 sleep cycles. The normal decrease in slow-wave sleep and delta activity from the first to the second cycle (in percentage from the first cycle) was restored by estrogen (-56% +/- 9% vs -5% +/- 14% and -20% +/- 6% vs -2% +/- 5%; P <.05, respectively). Sigma electroencephalographic activity was increased by estrogen from the first to the second half of the night but decreased during baseline.Conclusion Estrogen treatment after menopause can help to restore the normal sleep electroencephalogram pattern, which in turn might contribute to improved cognitive functioning.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
