Climara 25: 6,5 cm2 patch containing 2,04 mg of estradiol hemihydrate (corresponding to estradiol 1,97 mg). Climara 50: 12,5 cm2 patch containing 3,9 mg of estradiol hemihydrate (corresponding to estradiol 3,8 mg). Climara 75: 18,75 cm2 patch containing 5,9 mg of estradiol hemihydrate (corresponding to estradiol 5,7 mg). Climara 100: 25,0 cm2 patch containing 7,8 mg of estradiol hemihydrate (co...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors (PPARs) are nuclear receptors of transcription factors composed of three family members: PPARα, PPARβ/δ and PPARγ. This study was aimed to evaluate the role of PPARs in the estradiol production via follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) in the ovine Sertoli cells. At the first step, transcripts of PPARα, PPARβ /δ and PPARγ were evaluated by quantitative r...

introduction: postoperative neurological deficit is the most devastating complication after thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm repair. despite demonstrated neuroprotective effects of estradiol, its protective efficacy against spinal cord ischemia-reperfusion and underlying mechanisms are not yet elucidated. methods: two groups, each of 10 new zealand white male rabbits, were studied. control grou...

Background: The aim of this prospective randomized clinical trial was to determine the optimal endometrial preparation protocol by comparing the clinical outcome of two methods of endometrial preparation in FET cycles, that is, oral estradiol and 17 β-estradiol transdermal patch. Materials and Methods: A total number of 90 patients were scheduled for FET. In the study group (n=45), 17-B estradi...

In the age of broad medical options, women’s health has received sufficient attention. The different periods a woman’s life are characterised by specific physiological changes, based on age-related characteristics reproductive system. onset menopause can have negative impact in varying degrees. Clinicians clear understanding effects estrogen deficiency and therapeutic options for managing it wi...

introduction: 17&beta-estradiol; modulates nociception by binding to the estrogenic receptors and also by allosteric interaction with other membrane-bound receptors like glutamate and gabaa receptors. in addition to its autonomic functions, paragigantocellularis lateralis (lpgi) is involved in the pain modulation, too. the aim of the current study was to investigate the involvement of the membr...

introduction: estrogen is one of the gonadal hormones that has multiple beneficial actions in central nervous system and involves in learning and memory. alzheimer's disease (ad) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that impairs patient memory. the human nucleus basalis of meynert (nbm) is severely affected in alzheimer's disease. so in this study the effect of peripheral (intr...

BACKGROUND 17alpha-Estradiol has been considered as the hormonally inactive isomer of 17beta-estradiol. Recently, nongenomic (smooth muscle relaxation) and genomic (light estrogenic activity) effects of 17alpha-estradiol have been reported, but no reports have yet determined its possible antiestrogenic activity. Therefore, this study investigated: the nongenomic action of 17alpha-estradiol on u...

objective(s): osteoarthritis (oa), as a known degenerative joint disease, is the most common form of arthritis. in this study, we aimed to elucidate unclear pathogenesis of oa. materials and methods: rabbit models of oa were established by the transection of the anterior cruciate ligament. rabbits were randomly divided into three equal groups: the experimental group (oa modeling, treated with e...
