Estrogen receptor beta and neural development

2021
The female sex hormone estradiol (E2, 17β-estradiol) has important functions in the developing brain. In addition to regulating sexual differentiation of the brain, E2 participates in the development of brain areas involved in functions unrelated to reproduction, such as cognition.

Role of Estrogen Receptor Beta in Estrogen Action

Annual Review of Physiology, 2001
▪ Abstract  There was a time when the classification of sex hormones was simple. Androgens were male and estrogens female. What remains true today is that in young adults androgen levels are higher in males and estrogen levels higher in females. More recently we have learned that estrogens are necessary in males for regulation of male sexual behavior ...

Estrogen receptor β: the antimechanostat?

Bone, 2005
We have known for sometime that sex hormones influence the growth, preservation, and loss of bone tissue in the skeleton. However, we are only beginning to recognize how estrogen influences the responsiveness of the skeleton to exercise. Frost's mechanostat theory proposes that estrogen reduces the mechanical strain required to initiate an osteogenic ...

Immunohistochemical analysis of estrogen receptor alpha, estrogen receptor beta and progesterone receptor in normal human endometrium

Acta Histochemica, 2004
The endometrium expresses estrogen (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR), which are involved in autocrine and paracrine regulation processes in response to estrogen and progesterone. The aim of the present study was to evaluate immunohistochemical distribution patterns of estrogen receptor alpha (ER alpha), estrogen receptor beta (ER beta) and PR in ...

Estrogen receptor alpha and beta in health and disease

Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2015
Estrogen receptors alpha (ERα) and beta (ERβ) are transcription factors that are involved in the regulation of many complex physiological processes in humans. Abnormal ER signaling leads to development of a variety of diseases, such as cancer, metabolic and cardiovascular disease, neurodegeneration, inflammation, and osteoporosis.

Estrogen Receptor Beta

2002
When the discovery of ERβ was reported in 1996 [1], many endocrinologists thought that, since this receptor had gone unnoticed for so long, it must be some sort of vestigial receptor with no function in the endocrinology of estrogen. This idea was quickly dispelled when ERβ-/- mice were created and found to have severely compromised ovarian function ...
