We previously encountered regulatory processes wherein dihydrotestosterone (DHT) exerted its inhibitory effect on parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) gene repression through the estrogen receptor (ER)α, but not the androgen receptor (AR), in breast cancer MCF-7 cells. Here, we investigated

Estrogen receptors (ERs) are important for preventing endotoxin‑induced myocardial dysfunction. Therefore, plant‑derived phytoestrogens, which target ERs may also affect endotoxin‑induced toxicity in cardiomyocytes. Our previous study revealed that notoginsenoside‑R1 (NG‑R1), a predominant

OBJECTIVE: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders predominantly afflict women, suggesting that estrogen may play a role in the disease process. Defects in mechanical loading-induced TMJ remodelling are believed to be a major etiological factor in TMJ degenerative disease. Previously, we found that,
