The protocol used by the study cited is inadequate to support the conclusion about estrgen's role in muscle physiology. It is adequate for women in or near menopause to use low intensity, long duration anti-gravity exercise to maintian muscle tone.

I believe you are NOT correct....many women NEED additional estrogen during peri-post menopause.....and I am a PERFECT example of an exercising (speed walking) woman who needed it. If I had listened to some doctors I'd be on $10,000 a year Rheumatoid Arthritis drugs....instead, I did my own research and found a more up to date doc who KNEW what bio-identical hormones could do for women. You might want to d a little more research....with WOMEN.
