  2. 16. Estrogen receptors in the regulation of the skeleton

    Author : Marie Lindberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Estrogen is important for the regulation of bone growth as well as for adult bone metabolism in females. Androgens have long been considered the main sex steroid in the regulation of the skeleton in males. READ MORE

  4. 17. Estrogen receptors in skeletal muscle : expression and activation

    Author : Anna Wiik; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : There are two estrogen receptors (ERs), ERalpha and ERbeta, which are ligand activated transcription factors. Estrogen, which exerts its effect via ERs, is not only a female reproductive hormone, but acts almost ubiquitously in the human body and is involved in physiological and pathological states in both males and females.

  5. 18. G protein-coupled receptor regulation: The role of protein interactions and receptor trafficking

    Author : Caroline Sandén; Drug Target Discovery; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; receptor trafficking; B1 receptor; receptor oligomerization; estrogen; GPER1; G protein-coupled estrogen receptor 1; EP24.15; BK; bradykinin; B1R; B2R; B2 receptor; GPCR; receptor maturation;

    Abstract : The superfamily of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) is the largest gene family in the human genome. GPCR-mediated signaling operates in every human cell, and about 50% of existing clinically useful drugs act through GPCR. READ MORE

  6. 19. The role of estrogen receptors in the auditory system

    Author : Konstantina Charitidi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Both laboratory and clinical studies have previously demonstrated estrogenic effects on auditory function. The overall scope of this study was to investigate the physiological and molecular involvement of estrogens and estrogen receptors alpha (ERα) and beta (ERβ) in hearing physiology. READ MORE

  7. 20. Effect of estrogen on longitudinal bone growth

    Author : Andrei S Chagin; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Growth plate; chondrocytes; estrogen receptors; androgen; tamoxifen.;

    Abstract : Longitudinal bone growth occurs at the growth plate, a thin layer of cartilage between the epiphysis and the metaphysis of long bones. In the growth plate resting chondrocytes proliferate, differentiate into a hypertrophic form, and finally become terminal hypertrophic chondrocytes before giving rise to bone. READ MORE
