Therefore, estrogen signaling via ERα is a target both for affecting longitudinal bone growth and for bone remodeling. READ MORE

Abstract : Women before menopause are protected from cardiovascular disease compared to age-matched men through mechanisms associated with the female sex hormone estrogen. There are three known estrogen receptors named ERα, ERβ and GPR30/GPER1, which are all three receptors are expressed in the cardiovascular system. READ MORE
