does estrogen produce glycogen
Estradiol stimulates the maturation of vaginal epithelium and its production of glycogen. Glycogen is broken down into glucose, which in turn is metabolized by vaginal lactobacilli, leading to control of the growth of vaginal pathogens via hydrogen peroxide production.here is no question that estadiol, or more accurately Estradiol-17B, results in an increased deposition of glycogen in cervical and vaginal tissues. Progesterone, cortisol, and testosterone do not elicit a vaginal glycogen response.
