Objective(s):Estrogen (E2) has neuroprotective effects on blood-brain-barrier (BBB) after traumatic brain injury (TBI). In order to investigate the roles of estrogen receptors (ERs) in these effects, ER-α antagonist (MPP) and, ER-β antagonist (PHTPP), or non-selective estrogen receptors antagonist (ICI 182780) were administered. Materials and Methods: Ovariectomized rats were divided into 10 gr...

Objective(s): Diabetes is a metabolic disease with an increasing prevalence for which finding new and efficient therapeutic approaches has always been a challenge. Preserving integrity and functionality of pancreatic β-cells as the only source of insulin in the body is such a case. To achieve this goal different cellular targets have been proposed among which pancreatic estrogen receptors have ...

Estrogen is an important hormone for health in both genders. It indispensable to glucose homeostasis, immune robustness, bone health, cardiovascular and neural functions. The main way that estrogen acts the cells through receptors (ERs). presence of specific required have its characteristic ubiquitous action almost all tissues. receptor alpha (ER?) beta (ER?) are major isoforms highly humans en...

background and objectives: breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women in the world. the aim of this study was to assess estrogen receptor (er), progesterone receptor (pr) and her-2/neu of infiltrating ductal carcinoma (idc) with tumor size, histologic grade, lymph node metastasis and age. methods: this study was carried out on 300 tissue blocks ofpatients with idc who underwent mas...

background: to attain whether the effects of low and high doses of estrogen progesterone luteinizing hormone (lh) and follicle stimulating hormone (fsh) in acute and chronic administration were related to oxidant and antioxidant parameters in rat uterine tissue as well as cyclooxygenase-1 (cox-1) activity. materials and methods: acute and chronic administration of estrogen (1 and 5 mg/ kg) prog...

Many biological and physiological events, including growth, development, metabolism of reproductive non-reproductive tissues in men women, are regulated by estrogens estrogen receptors (ERs) [...]

background: malignant neoplastic lesions of the breast are one of the main causes of cancer death among women. several factors can be influential in the treatment process of breast cancer patients. the expression status of estrogen and progesterone receptors in tumor cells is among the most important determinants affecting the treatment approach and prognosis of these patients. in this paper, w...

estrogen (e2) has neuroprotective effects on blood-brain-barrier (bbb) after traumatic brain injury (tbi). in order to investigate the roles of estrogen receptors (ers) in these kind of effects, er-α antagonist (mpp) and, er-β antagonist (phtpp), or non-selective estrogen receptors antagonist (ici 182780) were administered as regulators of cns cytokines levels and neuroinflammation after tbi. m...
