Estrogen and gender effects on muscle damage, inflammation, and oxidative stress

Estrogen’s antioxidant properties may help maintain muscle membrane stability after exercise, potentially reducing muscle damage and creatine kinase leakage, particularly in females. However, some studies report limited effects on exercise-induced oxidative stress and suggest estrogen may deplete tissue vitamin C. Gender differences in tissue levels of antioxidants such as vitamin
