Summary
The primary aim of this study is to test whether type 2 diabetes interacts with estradiol on
brain metabolism in vivo in humans. This will be accomplished by imaging brain metabolism
using positron emission tomography before and after short-term administration of transdermal
17β-estradiol in 10 postmenopausal women with diabetes and 10 non-diabetic postmenopausal
women.
