Mechanisms of estrogen action.
Our appreciation of the physiological functions of estrogens and the mechanisms through which estrogens bring about these functions has changed during the past decade. Just as transgenic mice were produced in which estrogen receptors had been inactivated and we thought that we were about to understand the role of estrogen receptors in physiology and pathology, it was found that there was not on...
متن کاملGenes related to estrogen action in reproduction and breast cancer.
Estrogen is an important steroid hormone with diverse functions in different parts of the human body. The developmental and physiological role of estrogen is mediated by estrogen receptor alpha (ER-alpha) and newly identified ER-beta. Regulation of expression of various important cellular oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes is a key component of estrogen and ER action. The expression of these ...
متن کاملUnraveling estrogen action in osteoporosis.
A decrease in estrogen levels at menopause leads to a rapid loss of bone mineral density and an increase in fracture risk. For over ten years it has been known that the beneficial effects of estrogen are due in part to the ability of estrogen to suppress osteoclastogenic cytokine production in T-cells and osteoblasts. In addition to suppressing these cytokines, estrogen has been shown to induce...
متن کاملEffects of treadmill exercise training on cerebellar estrogen and estrogen receptors, serum estrogen, and motor coordination performance of ovariectomized rats
Objective(s): The present study aims at examining the motor coordination performance, serum and cerebellar estrogen, as well as ERβ levels, of ovariectomized rats (as menopausal model) following regular exercise. Materials and Methods:Ten female Sprague Dawley ratsaged 12 weeks old were randomly divided into two groups; all of which underwent ovariectomy. The first group was treated with regula...
متن کاملERGDB: Estrogen Responsive Genes Database
ERGDB is an integrated knowledge database dedicated to genes responsive to estrogen. Genes included in ERGDB are those whose expression levels are experimentally proven to be either up-regulated or down-regulated by estrogen. Genes included are identified based on publications from the PubMed database and each record has been manually examined, evaluated and selected for inclusion by biologists...
