Official Title: Investigating the Impact of Micronized Progesterone on Skeletal Muscle Metabolism
Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if micronized progesterone (PROMETRIUM®) influences the muscle-building response to resistance exercise in healthy premenopausal women aged 18-30 years.The main questions it aims to answer are:1. Does progesterone change the rate of muscle protein synthesis after exercise?2. Does progesterone alter the difference in synthesis between an exercised leg and a rested leg?Researchers will compare micronized progesterone to a placebo to see if progesterone changes the way…
