Female Metabolic Function

Meaning

Female Metabolic Function encompasses the totality of biochemical processes within the female body that are responsible for energy production, nutrient utilization, and substrate storage, all of which are profoundly modulated by the fluctuating and cyclical nature of sex hormones. This function specifically accounts for the impact of estrogen and progesterone on glucose homeostasis, lipid profiles, and body composition. Understanding this sex-specific metabolic landscape is essential for optimizing health and mitigating cardiometabolic risk across the lifespan.
