ABSTRACT

The article presents information according to which oestrogen is likely to influence skeletal muscle damage and inflammation. Oestrogen may affect muscle damage and inflammation, but the physiological significance of this, particularly potential effects on muscle repair and recovery in humans, and the mechanisms of its actions are as of yet unknown. The primary practical implication of a role for oestrogen in post-exercise mechanisms is likely to be for postmenopausal women who have reduced oestrogen concentrations, and thus may be more susceptible to muscle damage and slower recovery than pre-menopausal women. Sex differences in susceptibility to muscle damage are also of interest.

  The second to fourth digit ratio (2D:4D) is smaller in human males than in females and hence this trait is sexually dimorphic. The digit ratio is thought to be established during early prenatal development under the influence of prenatal sex hormones. However, the general assumption of early...

  There is now compelling evidence that inappropriate exposure to estrogen during fetal or neonatal life could affect adult reproductive functions because the testis is sensitive to estrogens during specific periods of its development. Therefore, we investigated the effects of exogenous estrogens...
