17 beta estradiol/fatigue

Environmental estrogen pollution and estrogen effects on the female reproductive system are well recognized scientifically. Among the estrogens, 17 β-estradiol is a priority in environmental estrogen pollution, and it is also a major contributor to estrogen which regulates the female reproductive

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the impact of cyclical low-dose micronised medroxyprogesterone (5 mg/day for the last 12 days of each 28-day cycle) in combination with 17-beta estradiol (2 mg/day continuously) on lipid profiles in postmenopausal women treated for 12 months. METHODS Open, noncomparative,

The aim of this study was to examine specific and interactional effects of estradiol and progesterone on the time-to-fatigue of eccentrically contracted plantarflexor muscles and on the percent of plantarflexor isometric torque remaining immediately after an eccentric contraction (EC) protocol.

To investigate microcracks as a potential index of bone biomechanical quality in rats, 98 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats, 10 months old, were used. Eight rats were killed at the beginning of the study, to serve as baseline controls. The remaining 90 rats were ovariectomized (OVX), and treated with 17

OBJECTIVE To compare microcrack with bone mineral desity (BMD), bone histomorphometry and biomechanics parameters, and to investigate the potential of microcrack in the evaluation of bone biomechanical quality. METHODS Eight 10-month-old Sprague-Dawley rats were served as baseline controls, and 90

Exercise and ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) have previously been shown to induce oxidative stress in skeletal muscle. Previous studies have demonstrated conflicting results when exercise-induced oxidative stress has been measured using plasma carbonyls, specifically malondialdehyde (MDA). These

Mental rotation task (MRT) incorporates elements of spatial abilities, important in many professions, with people of both genders involved. Importantly, these are the areas where spatial tasks might be performed for long time periods; thus adverse effects of mental fatigue are highly unwanted.
