How hormones affect appetite and energy in healthy young adults
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study examines how estradiol and progesterone (two female hormones) influence hunger, appetite, and how your body uses energy. Understanding this connection may help explain why appetite and energy levels change throughout the menstrual cycle.
