What is the role of estrogen in men

Men mainly secrete male hormones, so many men are more resistant to female hormones. In fact, it is not that males do not secrete female hormones, but that they secrete less. These female hormones also play some special roles. Let's take a look at the role of male estrogen.

1. Improve male brain function

Did you know that estrogen plays an extremely important role in brain development? Experiments show that when the ability to absorb estrogen is damaged, the development of the brain begins to suffer serious damage and mutations occur. In the subsequent process, this symptom will be further aggravated, leading to the onset of diseases such as Parkinson's disease. Scientists have also discovered that estrogen in the male body makes the male brain develop in a balanced way, with fewer emotional fluctuations and strong adaptability. In addition, estrogen can enhance male language and memory functions.

2. Protect a man’s heart

Estrogen in men has a protective effect on the cardiovascular system, which is mainly due to its beneficial effect on fat metabolism, namely reducing the synthesis of bad cholesterol and increasing the synthesis of good cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, which has the effect of preventing cardiovascular sclerosis. At the same time, estrogen can increase the heart rate index, dilate blood vessels, increase blood flow and inhibit the formation of arterial atherosclerotic plaques, playing a multi-pronged role as a heart protector.

3. Maintain male bone health

Postmenopausal women have a significantly increased risk of osteoporosis due to a drop in estrogen levels in their bodies. Osteoporosis is a disabling disease characterized by a decrease in bone density. What about men? In the past, it was believed that male hormones were the most important for male bone health, but recent studies have shown that estrogen also plays an important role, and is not inferior to male hormones. Moreover, the effects of the two sex hormones are independent of each other and cannot be replaced, but can only complement each other.

The above are the effects of male estrogen. It can promote intelligence, protect the heart, and promote bone health. It can be seen that the role of female hormones cannot be ignored, so when the body lacks certain hormones, appropriate supplementation is also very necessary.
