Posttranscriptional regulation may enhance or inhibit estrogen transcriptional control to promote proliferation of breast cancer cells. To understand how transcriptome and translational responses coordinate to drive proliferation, we determined estrogen's global and specific effects on translation regulation by comparing the genome-wide profiles of total mRNA, polysome-associated mRNA, and mono...

The physiological relevance of oestradiol (E2) on post-orchiectomy (OX) food intake control was evaluated in six adult, male, domestic, short-hair cats. Jugular venous plasma E2 and oestrone (E1) concentrations were determined weekly before OX and immediately after OX in a cross-over trial of two 3-week periods in which E2 (0.5 μg) or vehicle (0.1 ml/kg) was subcutaneously injected daily and bl...

Background: Estrogens include estoril (E3), estradiol and estrone (E1). These chemicals are produced in human and animal bodies as well as in synthetic chemicals (drugs). Estrogens can enter water sources in different ways. When these chemicals enter the human body through water and wastewater, they have the ability to mimic or disrupt the normal estrogen activities in humans and animals. Estro...

Purpose: To assess the association betweenpreoperative serum total testosterone (tT), 17b-estradiol (E2), sex hormone–binding globulin (SHBG), and tT–E2 ratio values with high-risk prostate cancer (as defined by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network practice guidelines) at radical prostatectomy. Experimental Design: Serum E2, tT, and SHBG were dosed the day before surgery (7:00–11:00 am) in...

CURRENTLY, ABOUT 66% OF ADULTS are overweight, and approximately 33% of adults are clinically obese. Excess weight is a risk factor for numerous conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, dyslipidemia, hypertension, stroke, cancer, adverse reproductive outcomes, osteoarthritis, and premature death (2, 10). Obesity is associated with a systemic state of inflammation and leads to inc...

Bovine viral diarrhoea virus (BVDV) isolates infect cultured Madin-Darby bovine kidney (MDBK) cells as efficiently as sheep kidney cells. In contrast, border disease virus (BDV) propagates poorly in MDBK cells but infects sheep cells very efficiently. The envelope glycoprotein E2 has been shown to be essential for virus infectivity. To explore the potential role of E2 in pestivirus host range i...

indirect evidence suggests that estrogen is involved in the etiology of breast cancer. estrogen is also thought to modulate nitric oxide (no) in human breast tumor tissue via regulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (inos). objectives of this study were to determine whether estradiol (e2) affects inos expression level in breast cancer cells and to study the effect of various concentrations...

introduction: the development of an effective vaccine against hepatitis c virus (hcv) is still a target of intensive vaccine research. the hcv envelope proteins e1 and e2 which can induce broadly neutralizing antibodies are the major candidate for this purpose. different types of expression systems have been used to express these glycoproteins. in this study, an expression system using pichia p...
