Neuroprotection by estradiol [PDF]
Progress in Neurobiology, 2001 This review highlights recent evidence from clinical and basic science studies supporting a role for estrogen in neuroprotection. Accumulated clinical evidence suggests that estrogen exposure decreases the risk and delays the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia, and may also enhance recovery from traumatic neurological injury

Differential Effects of Estradiol and Estradiol-BSA Conjugates [PDF]
Endocrinology, 1999 The steroid 17beta-estradiol (E2) acts to modulate transcription through classical nuclear estrogen receptors (ER-alpha and ER-beta). However, E2 also induces a number of rapid responses (

Changes in salivary estradiol predict changes in women’s preferences for vocal masculinity [PDF]
, 2014 Although many studies have reported that women’s preferences for masculine physical characteristics in men change systematically during the menstrual cycle, the hormonal mechanisms underpinning these changes are currently poorly understood.

Biotransformation and bioconcentration of steroid estrogens by Chlorella vulgaris [PDF]
, 2002 The biotransformation and bioconcentration of natural and synthetic steroid estrogens by Chlorella vulgaris were investigated using batch shaking experiments with incubation for 48 hours in the light or dark.

Estradiol: micrograms or milligrams [PDF]
Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism Case Reports, 2016 Summary Estrogen is used to induce puberty in peripubertal girls with hypogonadism. Although both synthetic and natural forms are available, along with different routes of administration, in the UK oral ethinyl estradiol and the low-dose oral contraceptive pill are commonly used as hormone replacement therapy for practical reasons.

Influence of sex steroids on the viability and CD11b, CD18 and CD47 expression of blood neutrophils from dairy cows in the last month of gestation [PDF]
, 2006 In the period around parturition, cows experience an increased susceptibility for the development of Escherichia coli mastitis. This increased susceptibility has been correlated with a decreased functionality of neutrophils.

3D model of amphioxus steroid receptor complexed with estradiol [PDF]
, 2009 The origins of signaling by vertebrate steroids are not fully understood. An important advance was the report that an estrogen-binding steroid receptor [SR] is present in amphioxus, a basal chordate with a similar body plan as vertebrates.

Non-genomic actions of estradiol and 4-OH-tamoxifen on murine breast cancer cells [PDF]
, 2015 Estrogens and tamoxifen do not only exert their effects at the genomic level, but also play a role at the cell membrane activating downstream signaling pathways. We recently characterized an estrogen receptor-positive epithelial murine breast cancer cell

17,β-estradiol inhibits hepatitis C virus mainly by interference with the release phase of its life cycle [PDF]
, 2016 Rationale & Aim: Estrogen and estrogen-mediated signalling protect from hepatitis C virus through incompletely understood mechanisms. We aimed to ascertain which phase(s) of HCV life cycle is/are affected by estrogens.

Effect of aging on endogenous level of 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone, testosterone, estradiol, and estrone in epithelium and stroma of normal and hyperplastic human prostate. [PDF]
, 1993 associated with aging. Thus, the question arises whether or not a correlation exists between the well known prostatic androgen and estrogen accumulation and aging.
