Estrogen Influence

Meaning

Estrogen influence describes the comprehensive regulatory impact of the steroid hormone estrogen on diverse physiological systems well beyond the reproductive tract. This systemic modulation includes maintaining bone mineral density, regulating lipid and glucose metabolism, influencing cardiovascular function, and exerting neuroprotective effects in the central nervous system. Understanding this widespread influence is paramount for effectively managing health transitions, particularly during perimenopause and the post-menopausal period.
