Re: Estrogen's role in fat loss

[Guest guest]

Framboise,

I'm hearing these different verbage like P4 and ER-alpha (rather than

beta) Could you explain what these terms are? Is there a correlation

on the ER-alpha vs. beta on our HRT? I think I take 17-beta Estradiol,

and was wondering if these terms of alpha and beta were

interchangable? ie. Is there 17-alpha Estradiol as well?
