Estrogen and estrogen receptors in kidney diseases [PDF]
Acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are posing great threats to global health within this century. Studies have suggested that estrogen and estrogen receptors (ERs) play important roles in many physiological processes in the kidney.

Estrogen, Estrogen Receptor and Lung Cancer [PDF]
Estrogen has been postulated as a contributor for lung cancer development and progression. We reviewed the current knowledge about the expression and prognostic implications of the estrogen receptors (ER) in lung cancer, the effect and signaling pathway of estrogen on lung cancer, the hormone replacement therapy and lung cancer risk and survival, the ...

Estrogens and environmental estrogens
The natural female sex hormone estrogens binds once inside the cell to a protein receptor to form a 'ligand-hormone receptor complex'. The binding activates the hormone receptor, which triggers specific cellular processes. The activated hormone receptor then turns on specific genes, causing cellular changes that lead to responses typical of a ligand ...

The binding of estrogen and estrogen antagonists to the estrogen receptor
The model of the estrogen receptor as a dimer of identical, interacting subunits and data obtained by Sasson and Notides (1988, Mol. Endocrinol. 2, 307-312) were used to find the standard free energy changes that describe the binding of estradiol and 4-hydroxytamoxifen to the estrogen receptor.

Tissue Specific Effects of Loss of Estrogen During Menopause and Aging
The roles of estrogens have been best studied in the breast, breast cancers and in the female reproductive tract. However, estrogens have important functions in almost every tissue in the body. Recent clinical trials such as the Women’s Health Initiative

Sex Differences in Memory: Do Female Reproductive Factors Explain the Differences?
BackgroundThe sex differences in memory impairment were inconclusive, and the effect of female reproductive factors (age at menarche, age at menopause, and reproductive period) on the differences was not clear.
