    Abstract : The human vaginal ecosystem is dominated by Lactobacillus species. An altered vaginal flora can result in symptomatic conditions such as bacterial vaginosis and vulvo-vaginal candidiasis, and urogenital colonisation by uropathogenic bacteria can cause urinary tract infection.

    Abstract : The central finding of this thesis is that estrogen receptors regulate androgen receptor expression: ERalpha unpregulates AR and ERbeta down-regulates AR. With this theme, we explored the physiological role of an ER-AR pathway, especially ERbeta-AR, in some urogenital tissues, uterus, ovary and prostate, using ERbeta knockout mice. READ MORE
