Influence of estrogen on skeletal muscle damage, inflammation, and repair

Exerc Sport Sci Rev. 2003 Jan;31(1):40-4. doi: 10.1097/00003677-200301000-00008.

Abstract

Estrogen may influence the disruption and diminish or delay leukocyte infiltration that occurs after muscle damage. This paper examines a mechanism by which estrogen may diminish the early postdamage migration of neutrophils into muscle and discusses the potential implications of these effects on muscle repair.
