How Do The Ovaries Distribute Estrogen? - Dr. Berga (VIDEO)

Dr. Berga:

Well, I mean, what normally happens is you’ve got these cells that make hormones and they have to release the hormone into the bloodstream and they just do that in little packages and so they are just constantly releasing these little packages and that’s actually what we try to do when we make these drugs now, is we try to make way for the estrogen to be gently released into the bloodstream in a steady state that more approximates what the ovary or the adrenal gland can do because that’s what you want to have until you know there’s something better.
