Abstract
- Estrogen plays important roles in women's overall health, including cardiovascular health, metabolism, bone, connective tissue, and skeletal muscle.
- Existing evidence, mostly based on studies with ovariectomized rodents or post-menopausal women suggests that estrogen is essential for normal muscle recovery, growth, and function.
- Evidence indicates that estrogen plays a role in facilitating skeletal muscle regeneration by activating satellite cells.
- There is a lack of research on the impact of estrogen levels on skeletal muscle damage and recovery in premenopausal populations who have fluctuating levels of estrogen throughout their menstrual cycle.
- The purpose of this study was to determine how menstrual cycle phase affects muscle fiber damage and regeneration after electrical stimulation.
