Estrogen signaling in the cardiovascular system
Estrogen exerts complex biological effects through the two isoforms of estrogen receptors (ERs): ERalpha and ERbeta. Whether through alteration of gene expression or rapid, plasma membrane-localized signaling to non-transcriptional actions, estrogen-activated ERs have significant implications in cardiovascular physiology. 17-beta-estradiol (E2) generally has a protective property on the vascula...
متن کاملEffects of Benzimidazole derivatives on digestive system and cardiovascular system
One of the goals of medicinal chemistry research and drug discovery is to provide a rationalbasis for the design of new medicinal agents. Organic compounds and their reactions have beenutilized by people since antiquity. Due to the increasing demand for bioactive molecules, organicchemists are increasingly required to synthesize new compounds of biological interest. AsBenzimidazoles are very us...
متن کاملEstrogen signaling and cardiovascular disease.
Estrogen has pleiotropic effects on the cardiovascular system. The mechanisms by which estrogen confers these pleiotropic effects are undergoing active investigation. Until a decade ago, all estrogen signaling was thought to occur by estrogen binding to nuclear estrogen receptors (estrogen receptor-α and estrogen receptor-β), which bind to DNA and function as ligand-activated transcription fact...
متن کاملThe effect of glutaminergic system on cardiovascular regulation of rat
Introduction: The bed nucleus stria terminalis (BST) is a part of the limbic system, which plays a role in regulation of heart beat and blood circulation. It was recently shown that microinjection of L-glutamate in the BST elicits cardiovascular depressive, but the role of glutamate receptor subtypes has not been investigated yet. In this study, the role of glutamate receptor subgroups in regul...
متن کاملCardiovascular disease, estrogen deficiency, and inflammatory cytokines.
The incidence of hypertension increases in women after menopause, as does the susceptibility to myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular diseases.1 The mechanisms responsible for increased cardiovascular disease risk after menopause are unknown. However, postmenopausal women exhibit increases in inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein and inflammatory cytokines, which have been s...
