In mammals, males consume more food, which is considered a masculinized behavior, but
the underlying mechanism of this sex-specific feeding behavior is unknown. In mice …

Estrogens are among important contributing factors to many sex differences in

Declining and variable levels of estrogens around the time of menopause are associated
with a suite of metabolic, vascular, and neuroendocrine changes. The archetypal adverse …
