Estrogen Agonist and Antagonist Action on the Human Estrogen Receptor in Drosophila [PDF]
The estrogen receptor (ER) regulates the expression of genes involved in the growth, proliferation and differentiation of skeletal, cardiovascular, neural and reproductive tissues. A basic scheme for the mechanism for ER action has been developed, but precise details on the interactions between ER and the cellular signaling and transcription machinery ...

Molecular mechanisms of sex bias differences in COVID-19 mortality
More men than women have died from COVID-19. Genes encoded on X chromosomes, and sex hormones may explain the decreased fatality of COVID-19 in women. The angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 gene is located on X chromosomes.

Estrogen Antagonist and Development of Macular Hole [PDF]
To describe the clinical and optical coherence tomography (OCT) features of a macular hole (MH) or its precursor lesion in patients treated with systemic antiestrogen agents. We reviewed the medical history of the patient, ophthalmic examination, and both fundus and OCT findings. Three female patients receiving antiestrogen therapy sought treatment for

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.

Urinary estrogen metabolites and prostate cancer : a case-control study and meta-analysis [PDF]
Objective: To investigate prostate cancer (Pca) risk in relation to estrogen metabolism, expressed as urinary 2-hydroxyestrone (2-OHE1), 16α-hydroxyestrone (16α-OHE1) and 2-OHE1 to 16α-OHE1 ratio.

Single-cell states in the estrogen response of breast cancer cell lines [PDF]
Estrogen responsive breast cancer cell lines have been extensively studied to characterize transcriptional patterns in hormone-responsive tumors. Nevertheless, due to current technological limitations, genome-wide studies have typically been limited to ...
