The subcellular localization and physiological roles of estrogen receptors α and β in classical and non-classical tissues
(Nova Science Publishers, 2017)
It is now firmly established that estrogens elicit a variety of rapid effects in many tissues in addition to their delayed action on gene expression in the cell nucleus. Moreover, the classic estrogen receptors have been ...
The phthalate DEHP modulates the estrogen receptors α and β increasing lactotroph cell population in female pituitary glands
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2020-11)
Humans are exposed to numerous endocrine disruptors on a daily basis, which may interfere with endogenous estrogens, with Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) being one of the most employed. The anterior pituitary gland is ...
Inhibition of mammary tumor growth by estrogens: Is there a specific role for estrogen receptors alpha and beta?
(Springer, 2010-10)
To evaluate the extent to which each estrogen receptor (ER) subtype contributes to the stimulation or to the inhibition of mammary tumor growth, we evaluated the effects of specific agonists in MC4-L2 cells, which are ...
Progestin activation of nongenomic pathways via cross talk of progesterone receptor with estrogen receptor beta induces proliferation of endometrial stromal cells
(Endocrine Society, 2005-12)
Uterine decidualization is characterized by stromal cell proliferation and differentiation, which are controlled by ovarian hormones estradiol and progesterone. Here we report that the proliferative response of UIII rat ...
Presence of estrogen receptor (ER)-like proteins and endogenous ligands for ER in solanaceae
(Elsevier Ireland, 2004-12)
The synthesis of steroid hormones in different plant species and the possibility that these molecules could regulate cell growth, tissue differentiation and germination has been reported. However, the mechanism of action ...
Perinatal DEHP exposure modulates pituitary estrogen receptor α and β expression altering lactotroph and somatotroph cell growth in prepuberal and adult male rats
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021-12)
Phthalates are synthetic chemicals widely used to make polyvinylchloride (PVC) soft and flexible. Of these, Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is the most commonly used, with high human exposure occurring as early as the ...
Regulation of leptin expression by 17beta-estradiol in human placental cells involves membrane associated estrogen receptor alpha.
(Elsevier, 2012-01)
The placenta produces a wide number of molecules that play essential roles in the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. In this context, leptin has emerged as an important player in reproduction. The synthesis of ...
Regulation of leptin expression by 17beta-estradiol in human placental cells involves membrane associated estrogen receptor alpha
(Elsevier Science, 2012-04)
The placenta produces a wide number of molecules that play essential roles in the establishment and maintenance of pregnancy. In this context, leptin has emerged as an important player in reproduction. The synthesis of ...
An aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist amplifies the mitogenic actions of estradiol in granulosa cells: evidence of involvement of the cognate receptors
(Society for the Study of Reproduction, 2006-02)
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor that, besides mediating toxic responses, may have a central role in ovarian physiology. Studying the actions of AHR ligands on granulosa cells ...
