Hey everyone, I wanted to point out this interesting study I found:
"Different Effects of Estrogen and Progesterone on Experimental Atherosclerosis in Female Versus Male Rabbits"
In the study, the researchers nuked the hormones of groups of male and female rabbits, then gave both groups estrogen. The estrogen was cardioprotective in the biological female rabbits but not the males. As the researchers state:

"Estrogen has failed to inhibit atherosclerosis in male rabbits because a sex-specific pathway, which is present in female rabbits only"
I found this fascinating and just wanted to share it with the group here.
