Exercise-induced muscle damage and the potential protective role of estrogen

This 2002 review article examines exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) and the potential protective role of estrogen in muscle repair. EIMD, often caused by unaccustomed or strenuous physical activity, leads to muscle soreness and inflammation. Estrogen is hypothesized to have antioxidant and membrane-stabilizing properties that may reduce muscle damage, as observed
