I have a question about my estrogen progesterone and testosterone ratio. I am a 33-year old cycling female (have not been on birth control pills in over 5 months). I haven’t been pregnant and want to hopefully have children one day so I want to preserve or improve my fertility. I ha...
These findings may explain, at least in part, why estrogen has more potent effects on inhibiting bone resorption compared to testosterone. Estrogen also appears to have effects on RANK signaling in osteoclast precursors; although, there is disagreement among studies regarding whether estrogen affects ...

The two primary risk factors for PH are mutations in the bone morphogenetic protein receptor type II (BMPR2) gene and female gender [6,7]. BMPR2 gene mutations are closely linked to the genetic form of PH. Women face a heightened risk of developing PH, with a male-to-female ratio of ...
In this model, human aromatase is ubiquitously expressed, resulting in elevated endogenous levels of estradiol and reduced level of testosterone, and hence, estrogen to androgen ratio (E/A) in male mice, yet estrogen levels remain physiological, i.e. similar to female mice. The results from ...
One common test is the estradiol test. This measures the amount of estradiol, which is a type of estrogen, in the blood. The test can be done with a simple blood draw. Another common test is thetestosterone-to-estrogen ratio(T:E ratio). This measures how much testosterone there is compa...
The mean concentrations of testosterone (T), and dihydrotestoste-rone (DHT), were decreased but those of estrone (E 1 ) and estradiol (E 2 ) were increased, and the concentration of androstenedione, (A), was similar compared to the normal values. Compared to the values in normal men ...
to achieve BP control in elderly women, and women are at a greater risk of developing resistance to antihypertensive treatment than men [3,14]. Due to the dramatic increase of HTN in postmenopausal women, it is expected that the steroid hormone estrogen plays an important role in this process...
to be due to differences in sex hormones, but differences due to having two X chromosomes versus an X and a Y chromosome [1] and epigenetic differences should also be considered. Although testosterone can clearly alter gene expression and contribute to sex differences, for simplicity, this ...
