    Author : Caroline Jochems; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : rheumatoid arthritis; osteoporosis; estrogen; raloxifene; mice;

    Abstract : ABSTRACT In postmenopausal rheumatoid arthritis (RA), both the estrogen deficiency and the inflammatory disease contribute to the development of generalized osteoporosis. This leads to an increased risk of fracture, with high morbidity and mortality. More than 50% of women with postmenopausal RA suffer from osteoporosis. 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
