In menopause or andropause, which is more or less a male menopause. This is where hormones, particularly testosterone but also estrogen, declined. So women have about 20 times more testosterone than estrogen and men have about 10 times more testosterone than women. And the primary hormone that declines in menopause is testosterone. And when women go into menopause, both estrogen and testosterone are favorable on weight loss or weight maintenance. So, for example, different studies over the years have looked at different forms of estrogen versus nothing in menopause and found that topical or subcutaneous estrogen is beneficial for weight maintenance or weight loss over taking nothing in menopause and superior to oral hormone replacement therapy for women.
