bre5379 Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 Young Women at Greatest Risk From Ecstasy Drug LONDON (Reuters) - Young women taking the synthetic drug ecstasy are much more likely to die than any other group, according to new research reported on Monday. The drug is more dangerous for women of reproductive age because of high levels of the female hormone estrogen in their bodies, said researchers at Kings College, London. The hormone prevents their bodies from coping with water retention that occurs as ecstasy is absorbed in the body, the Times newspaper reported. ``The way that young women, in particular, respond to ecstasy places them at risk, though these effects can apply to anyone who takes the drug,'' Mary Forsling, a professor of neuroendocrinology, told the paper. ``Ecstasy is especially dangerous because of the circumstances in which people take it. Dancing raises the body temperature, you drink a lot, your hormones tell your body to retain water, you drink more. It is something of a vicious cycle,'' Forsling was quoted as saying. As ecstasy is broken down within the body it produces another chemical, known as HMMA, which causes the release of a hormone encouraging the body to drink. The resulting imbalance of sodium levels in the body can be fatal. The study is to be presented at the annual meeting of the Society of Endocrinology in London on Monday. Each year, 11 people die in Britain after taking ecstasy, according to the Office for National Statistics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysteriousss Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 They don't say how estrogen interacts with e... They specifically say ``The way that young women, in particular, respond to ecstasy places them at risk, though these effects can apply to anyone who takes the drug,'' .... which is no argument that it's more dangerous for women at all!!!

shugabooga Posted November 20 Report Share Posted November 20 on the (semi) same note, women metabolize alcohol at a much slower rate than men, therefore keeping the alcohol in their bodies longer, meaning that we get drunk faster, stay drunk longer, and need more time for our bodies to recover.
