Estrogen is closely associated with the general loss of fat-free tissue with aging 1 0 2and
Estrogen creates an oxygen deficiency, stimulates first swelling, and then collagen synthesis 1 0 2and
Collagen tends to accumulate with aging 1 0 2Then it must be true that...

Estrogen steals oxygen from mitochondria, shifting patterns of growth and adaptation 1 0 2Stimulation by estrogen doesn't produce the normal amount of carbon dioxide, leading to tissue experiencing oxygen deprivation, swelling, and cell division 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 2Progesterone, by increasing oxidative efficiency, opposes this "angiogenic" (neovascularization) effect of estrogen 1 0 2Estrogen excess prevents the increase of stroke volume as the speed increases, but progesterone increases the stroke volume as the heart accelerates 1 0 2Estrogen increases and acts through the inflammatory mediators, serotonin and histamine, to increase vascular leakiness 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 2
