Human menopause is widely associated with impaired skeletal muscle quality and
significant metabolic dysfunction. These observations pose significant challenges to the …

As women enter menopause, the concentration of estrogen and other female hormones
declines. This hormonal decrease has been associated with a number of negative …

Skeletal muscle weakness occurs with aging and in females this is compounded by the loss
of estrogen with ovarian failure. Estrogen deficiency mediates decrements in muscle …

There is a growing body of information supporting the beneficial effects of estrogen and

Activity of estrogen, a sex steroid hormone, is not only limited to the reproductive organs but
also involves other organs and tissues, including skeletal muscle. In postmenopausal …

Exercise-induced muscle damage is a well documented phenomenon that often follows
unaccustomed and sustained metabolically demanding activities. This is a well researched …

Skeletal muscle regeneration efficiency declines with age for both men and women. This
decline impacts on functional capabilities in the elderly and limits their ability to engage in …

The loss of skeletal muscle strength occurs with age, but the reason why there are
differences in rates and magnitude of losses between females and males is not clear. Sex …

Estrogen is an essential sex steroid hormone that functions primarily in female reproductive
system, as well as in a variety of tissues and organs with pleiotropic effects, such as in …

Estrogen has a dramatic effect on musculoskeletal function. Beyond the known relationship
