00:02 So how does estrogen and progesterone actually affect the female body. 00:08 Starting with estrogen, estrogen is going to promote oogenesis and follicle growth in the ovaries. 00:16 It also exerts anabolic effects on the female reproductive tract. 00:22 It supports rapid short-lived growth spurts at puberty and also induces secondary sex characteristic such as growth of breast, increase deposits of subcutaneous fats in the hips and breasts area, and also the widening and lightening of the pelvis. 00:43 Estrogen also exhibit some metabolic effects such as maintaining low total blood cholesterol and high HDL cholesterol levels. 00:55 It also facilitates calcium intake. 00:59 This is the reason why as we age and estrogen production begins to decrease some women will suffer from weaker bones due to osteoporosis. 01:11 Progesterone is also equally as important. 01:15 Progesterone is going to work with estrogen to establish and regulate the uterine cycle. 01:22 It promotes changes in cervical mucus and affects the placental progesterone during pregnancy. 01:29 It inhibits uterine motility and helps to prepare the breasts for lactation as well.
