ALAN exposure and brain health in menopausal women with night sweats
Part of Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how exposure to an enzyme called ALAN (which affects sleep and hormones) may impact brain health in women going through menopause who have night sweats. By joining, you may help researchers find ways to improve brain function during this life stage.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
