Sex-Specific Differences in the Pathophysiology of Hypertension by Hannah Zhang, Pawan K. Singal, Amir Ravandi, Inna Rabinovich-Nikitin

“…In brief, estrogen promotes subcutaneous fat deposition over visceral fat and increases in mass via adaptive hyperplasia rather than pathogenic hypertrophy. This adipose tissue subsequently produces anti-inflammatory effects and inhibits metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and RAS activation, ultimately leading to decreased levels of hypertension in pre-menopausal females. …”
