Stimulation by estrogen doesn't produce the normal amount of carbon dioxide, leading to tissue experiencing oxygen deprivation, swelling, and cell division 1 0 2Certain effects of estrogen resemble changes seen in aging such as fibrotic changes of connective tissues, accelerated accumulation of age pigment, a tendency to miscarry, or the production of degenerative changes in various organs 1 0 2All maladies caused by estrogen excess develop in the same way that it interferes with pregnancy, by driving the tissue to require more energy and oxygen than can be delivered to it 1 0 2Estrogen creates an oxygen deficiency, stimulates first swelling, and then collagen synthesis 1 0 2Estrogen's stimulation of non-mitochondrial oxygen consumption with the production of lactic acid stimulates blood vessel formation 1 0 2Estrogen plays a role in organisms as diverse as yeasts, worms, mollusks, and in modifying the function of practically every type of animal cell--skin, nerve, muscle, bone, hair, gland, etc 1 0 2Many toxic chemicals and stressful physical processes can activate the same functions as estrogen 1 0 2Estrogen affects our energetics and structure, and how those processes relate to aging, atrophy, cancerization, etc 1 0 2Estrogen is intimately involved with the formation of the egg cell and wherever it operates, it increases both the quantity of water and the disorder of the water 1 0 2Estrogen promotes regeneration by promoting water uptake, stimulating cell division, and erasing the differentiated state to one degree or another, providing a new supply of "stem cells" 1 0 2
