Basic Roles of Sex Steroid Hormones in Wound Repair with Focus on Estrogens (A Review)
By: Z. Čriepoková, L’. Lenhardt and P. Gál
Abstract
Previously, it has been shown that sex hormones, in particular estrogens, play an important role in the regulation of biological processes involved in tissue repair and regeneration. Accordingly, several studies have supported the beneficial properties of hormone replacement therapies (HRT) in postmenopausal models. The present review paper explores the potential for targeted sex steroid HRT as a new therapeutic option for the surgical management of wounds in postmenopausal women and animals.
