...Anna Kasielska-Trojan; Marian Danilewicz; Bogusław Antoszewski Background/Aims: The aim of this research was to analyze digit ratio in relation to estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) expression and to verify digit ratio (2D: 4D) as a marker of ER and PR overexpression in the male...

.... The aims were to determine the relations of expression of IGF-I, estrogen receptors α and β (ERα and ERβ, respectively), and progesterone receptor (PR), with maternal anthropometry, focusing on birth weight outcomes. Methods: Placental samples were obtained from 33 patients following delivery. mRNA...

... on the brain may be mediated by trophic factors, such as insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). Both estradiol and IGF-I increase the survival and differentiation of developing fetal rat hypothalamic neurons in culture. The effect of estradiol is blocked by the pure estrogen receptor antagonist ICI 182,780...

...J.C. Faye; A. Fargin; A. Valette; F. Bayard Nonsteroidal antiestrogens display antagonistic as well as agonistic properties when compared with estrogens. These observations and studies of their molecular interactions suggest that part of their activity is mediated through estrogen receptor (ER...

... of growth factors (EGF, insulin). At concentrations ≤ 4 µ M , antiestrogens are also cytotoxic and they require accessible estrogen receptors for their action. ‘Estrogen-receptor-targeted drugs’ is therefore a better general term than ‘antiestrogens’ to describe the mechanism of action of these drugs, which...

...Margaret H. MacGillivray; Akira Morishima; Felix Conte; Melvin Grumbach; Eric P. Smith The goals of this presentation are to review the essential roles of aromatase, estrogens and the estrogen receptor in pubertal growth. Estrogen deficiency due to mutations in the aromatase gene (CYP19...

...Saizhu Wu; Yunjun Ruan; Xiaohu Zhu; Wenyan Lai Objective: To observe the expression of estrogen receptor and the activity of NOS in the arteries of female rats receiving estrogen replacement therapy. Methods: Seventy-two female rats were randomly divided into four groups: group A: sham-ovariectomy...
