Estrogen receptor beta treats Alzheimer's disease.

Neural regeneration research, 2013
In vitro studies have shown that estrogen receptor β can attenuate the cytotoxic effect of amyloid β protein on PC12 cells through the Akt pathway without estrogen stimulation. In this study, we aimed to observe the effect of estrogen receptor β in Alzheimer's disease rat models established by intraventricular injection of amyloid β protein.

Estrogen Receptor-β Prevents Cardiac Fibrosis [PDF]

The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2010
Development of cardiac fibrosis portends the transition and deterioration from hypertrophy to dilation and heart failure. Here we examined how estrogen blocks this important development. Angiotensin II (AngII) and endothelin-1 induce cardiac hypertrophy and fibrosis in humans.
