Deficiency of female sex hormone, estrogen might expose aging women to several health wrecking problems like, rampant weight gain, diabetes, increased blood pressure and increase in blood glucose, claims a new study by U.S. scientists.
Experts came up with this conclusion after they found that loss of estrogen in older rats exposed them to such symptoms. During the course of study, Dr. Lourdes Fortepiani of the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and colleagues tracked two groups, consisting of 24 aged female rats with their ovaries removed. One group of “http:these rats was given estrogen, while the other group remained without any dose of estrogen.
Finally, what came to the fore reveals that estrogen depleted rats-
• reported significantly higher blood pressure
• increased their blood glucose level by 35 percent
• increased RAS and renal SNS by 16 and 39 percent
• increased their leptin level by 70 percent
• gained twice as much weight as the controls
Prior to this study, also some researches have tried to explore negative effects of lower estrogen level over health. According to which:-
• Memory Loss In Women Linked to Estrogen Level
• Estrogen withdrawal results in bone loss
•Estrogen Loss is Culprit in Loss of Muscle Mass for Older Women
It somewhere seems to be confirming that if through medical procedures doctors enable women to keep balanced level of estrogen, then, graph of health problems like obesity, blood pressure and diabetes might be brought down to a great extent ultimately stoking the mission aimed at creating a healthy world.
