Estradiol selectively regulates agonist binding sites on the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor complex in the CA1 region of the hippocampus. Weiland NG. Estradiol alters cognitive function and lowers the threshold for seizures in women and laboratory animals. Both of these activities are modulated by [...]

The production of progesterone increases in most animals in the spring, and it is [...]
A 1994 publication (B. Zumoff, “Hormonal profiles in women with breast cancer,” Obstet. Gynecol. Clin. North. Am. (U.S.) 21(4), 751-772) reported that there are four hormonal features in women with breast cancer: diminished androgen production, luteal inadequacy, increased 16-hydroxylation of estradiol, and increased prolactin. The 16-hydroxylation converts estradiol into estriol. -Ray Peat, PhD Obstet Gynecol [...]
Also See: Fat Tissue and Aging – Increased Estrogen Estrogen Levels Increase with Age A recent study (Toth, et al., 2000) shows that, at least in women, estrogen is closely associated with the general loss of fat-free tissue with aging. This shows a close association between the generalized atrophy of aging and the amount of [...]

PUFA and Liver Toxicity; Protection by Saturated Fats Endotoxin: Poisoning from the Inside Out Hepatology. 2000 Jan;31(1):117-23. Estrogen is involved in early alcohol-induced liver injury in a rat enteral feeding model. Yin M, Ikejima [...]
PLoS Med. 2007 May;4(5):e167. Childhood conditions influence adult progesterone levels. Núñez-de la Mora A, Chatterton RT, Choudhury OA, Napolitano DA, Bentley GR. BACKGROUND: Average profiles of salivary progesterone in women vary significantly at the inter- and intrapopulation level as a function of age and acute energetic conditions related to energy intake, energy expenditure, or a [...]
Proc Biol Sci. 1998 October 7; 265(1408): 1847–1851. Physical work causes suppression of ovarian function in women. G Jasieńska and P T Ellison The suppression of reproductive function is known to occur in women engaging in activities that require high energetic expenses, such as sport participation and subsistence work. It is still unclear, however, if [...]
Alcohol and Alcoholism (2000) 35 (5): 417-423. THE EFFECTS OF MODERATE ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION ON FEMALE HORMONE LEVELS AND REPRODUCTIVE FUNCTION Studies that have investigated the effect of moderate alcohol consumption on the level of oestrogens and progesterone in both pre- and post-menopausal women are reviewed. It is concluded that several lines of evidence point to [...]
