Cathe, technical question....

[nik13]

Cathe or educated crowd,

Could you tell me while weight training and building muscles, what and how hormones play a role in the process. I am curious about how Estrogen plays a role.

Thanks in advance for your response,
Nikki

Bump, Bump..

How is estrogen utilized when building muscle? I know this is somewhat of a physic question, but I am having infertility problems related to estrogen and reducing my weight will reduce my estrogens levels. That is why I was wondering if muscle building taps into estrogen hormones. I wasn't sure if anyone knew the anwser to this one, but I figured if any educated group would know it would be Cathe and her educated friends on this board.

Thanks again for trying to help
Nikki

Not an answer, but personal experience

Hi Nikki,
My estrogen levels are practically nonexistent and I have been everywhere from very underweight to very overweight. I know that extra body fat is associated with higher estrogen levels, but with me that was not the case. I don't know how common it is for estrogen not to be affected by bodyfat, but I thought you should know that there is not always a connection.
Good luck!!
Erica
