And because we recruit women that are someone that are beside the diagnosis of PTSD and some comorbid depression, these are women who are healthy.

So it's like the question here now is what is PTSD doing to estrogen?

What is the interaction between PTSD and estrogen?

Is PTSD...

rendering oestrogen, running the blood vessel and other organs less sensitive to oestrogen or is PTSD lowering the level of oestrogen, right?

Which menopause is basically that lowering of the level of oestrogen.

So there's the normal comorbidity that we've seen in PTSD, particularly men or women a little bit older, but it's really scary.

to see what's happening in young women that were thought to be protected from cardiovascular disease.

It makes sense.

Thank you Dr. Benz for that question.

I think you said something there about physiologic, it's like your physiological age versus your real age.

I think that's,

a very, and I think we, that's the case for metabolic diseases too.

They always talk about your physiological, your actual age.

The question you just asked right now, regarding young women that I'm studying at the moment, I would say stay tuned because I'm still analyzing that data in terms of how

Because we have that acute stress that we do in the lab.

And I'm trying to see how the fight or flight response and the blood pressure changes.

I already see this high at rest, right?

You always start higher.

But I want to see if once you're stressed, do you even have a higher response than your peers?
