Turns out, estrogen doesn’t just boss around the brain (hypothalamus)—it also tells the pituitary gland to chill on hormone release, especially FSH. But here’s the twist: as women age, the pituitary gets less sensitive to estrogen’s feedback, mainly for FSH, not so much for LH. Basically, estrogen’s control over hormone balance is more direct than we thought, but age changes the game! #Hormones #Estrogen #WomensHealth #ScienceNews #Aging #Health
