Fighting Fatigue Guide

Recent studies have shown that women are more likely to suffer from chronic pain and fatigue than men due to a simple fact, testosterone. As it turns out, the hormone has a protective effect on muscles of men when it is fatigued thus lessening the damage that can result in chronic pain. The mechanism that results in fatigue has a signal gene that is somewhat blocked by the testosterone limiting its effect to protect the muscle. Women have testosterone in their body’s but at lower concentrations which makes them suffer more from chronic pain and stress. New studies in effectively mimicking the effects of the hormone in women is underway to help relieve their pains lessening the impact on their overall health. The research has also found a tangible link seen between the working muscle and the presence of the said protective mechanism.
