Estrogen‐mediated coupling via gap junctions in the suprachiasmatic nucleus
Our study investigates the influence of estrogen on circadian gene expression rhythms in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) of female mice. We show that estrogen modulates connexin‐mediated intercellular communication specifically through estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) receptors.
