2020, PeptidesCitation Excerpt :Estrogens seem to have beneficial effects on adipose tissue since female adipose tissue is less insulin resistant and less vulnerable to inflammation than male adipose tissue [33,34]. In contrast, post-menopausal females are at risk of increased abdominal adiposity and metabolic syndrome which is reversed by estrogen replacement therapy [35]. Animal studies have shown that the removal of ovaries (ovariectomy) in females increases body weight and adiposity [36].
