2. Healthy CellHypothesis
How Do We Get from Gene toGonadal Steroids to Depression?
Animal models: the ER in depression Brain imaging: functional effects of E2
E2: antidepressant efficacy Modulation of gene expression by
gonadal steroids– Change in hormone as trigger– Genetic predispositions modified by gonadal
steroids Stress, gonadal steroids, and epigenesis
Paracelsus, 1493-1541.
A drug can be an inert substance, a poison,or a therapeutic agent depending upon how itis used and the dosage in which it is given.
Alle Ding' sind Gift und nichts ohn' Gift; alleindie Dosis macht, dass ein Ding kein Gift ist.
"All things are poison and nothing is withoutpoison, only the dose permits something notto be poisonous."
CC-EPT = continuous-combined estrogen-progestogen therapy;CS-EPT = continuous-sequential estrogen-progestogen therapy;DM = diabetes mellitus; HT = hypertension
We Don’t Know…
Optimal combo of formulation, route, regimen, dose Mechanisms of harm Long-term risks Usefulness of protectors (e.g., statins) Risk to benefit of CS-EPT vs. CC-EPT Interactions with antidepressants Role in DM or HT Impact of different progestins Predictors of benefit or risk…………..
