At the same time, all females received a 5-mm-long silastic capsule (inner diameter: 1.57 mm; outer diameter: 2.41 mm) containing crystalline 17β-estradiol (diluted 1:1 with cholesterol) subcutaneously in the neck. The dose of E2 (E8875, Sigma) was based on a previous study61 ...
NIH's optimal cholesterol: LDL (bad): Under 100 mg/dl HDL (good) Over 60 Total: Under 200 Estrogen could help HDL cholesterol level in women, slowing onset of coronary heart disease. People with high LDL and with low HDL are more likely to develop heart disease. Healthy diets (low sat...
Lignans, which have plant estrogen as well as antioxidant properties, are beneficial to maintaining hormonal equilibrium. It has been estimated that flaxseed contains between 75 and 800 times the amount of lignans that are found in other plant foods. ...
Steroid hormones constitute a large family of hormones, all originating from cholesterol. These hormones and their precursors are primarily synthesized and metabolized in the adrenal glands and gonads of men and women5. They exert their functions either by binding their respective receptors and thereby...
Osteoporosis, which causes bones to weaken and become brittle, is more common in older women than in older men, increasing the risk of dangerous fractures and falls. Once again, the loss of estrogen with menopause is implicated. “This is hugely important to older women’s quality of life an...
