  2. 1. Estrogen signaling in stroke : genetic and experimental studies

    Author : Magnus Strand; Tommy Olsson; Jan Hillert; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; intracerebral hemorrhage; ischemic stroke; genetics; ERα; OPG; 17β-estradiol; enriched environment; learning and memory; hippocampus; NGFI-A; Medicine; Medicin;

    Abstract : Stroke is a common and multifactorial disease influenced by genetic and environmental risk factors. It is a highly heterogeneous entity consisting of two main types, ischemic (80%) and hemorrhagic (20%) stroke. The most common form of hemorrhagic stroke is intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). READ MORE

  4. 2. Roles of ERα and ERβ in Normal and Disrupted Sex Differentiation in Japanese Quail

    Author : Anna Mattsson; Björn Brunström; Krister Halldin; Lena Sahlin; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : Toxicology; sex differentiation; estrogen receptor; sexual behavior; endocrine disruption; Japanese quail; Toxikologi;

    Abstract : Exposure to xenoestrogens during development has been shown to impair sexual differentiation in various species. The major aim of this thesis was to elucidate the respective roles of the two estrogen receptors ERα and ERβ in normal and disrupted differentiation of sex organs and copulatory behavior in the Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica).

  5. 3. Phosphorylation of ERα and HIF-1α in breast cancer with focus on tamoxifen response and links to kinase activation

    Author : Caroline Wigerup; Malmö Patologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Anti-oestrogens are commonly used in adjuvant breast cancer treatment and for a long time tamoxifen has been the main endocrine treatment. Patients who are eligibly for endocrine treatment are selected by the tumour-specific expression of oestrogen receptor (ER) and approximately 70 % of all breast cancer patients are classified as ER positive.

  6. 4. The role of estrogen receptor alpha in the regulation of bone and growth plate cartilage

    Author : Anna E Börjesson; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; estrogen receptor α; bone; growth plate; estrogen;

    Abstract : Estrogens are important endocrine regulators of skeletal growth and maintenance in both females and males. Studies have demonstrated that the estrogen receptor (ER)-α is the main mediator of these estrogenic effects in bone. Therefore, estrogen signaling via ERα is a target both for affecting longitudinal bone growth and for bone remodeling. READ MORE

  7. 5. Post-translational modification of estrogen receptor alpha and p53 in breast cancer cells

    Author : Jian Zhu; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Estrogen receptor α (ERα/ESR1) and tumor protein p53 (p53/TP53) signaling are aberrant and play important roles in breast cancer pathogenesis and evolution. ERα is highly expressed in the majority of breast cancers and is an important contributor to the development of these tumors. READ MORE
