Abstract
Estrogen may influence the disruption and diminish or delay leukocyte infiltration that occurs after muscle damage. This paper examines a mechanism by which estrogen may diminish the early postdamage migration of neutrophils into muscle and discusses the potential implications of these effects on muscle repair.
