Estrogen action on carbohydrate metabolism
Correct Answer: Increases uptake of glucose through increase in insulin sensitivity
Description: Reduced estrogen may also lower metabolic rate, the rate at which the body conves stored energy into working energy. It's possible the same thing happens with women when estrogen levels drop after menopause. Some evidence suggests that estrogen hormone therapy increases a woman's resting metabolic rate.
