Estrogen and inflammation modulate estrogen receptor alpha expression in specific tissues of the temporomandibular joint

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2009
Background Estrogen is known to play role in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders and estrogen effects can be mediated by estrogen receptor (ER) alpha present in the TMJ.

Estrogen receptor beta--a new dimension in estrogen mechanism of action [PDF]

Journal of Endocrinology, 1999
The cloning of estrogen receptor (ER ) has provided the first example of a steroid hormone receptor existing as two isoforms, each of which is encoded by a separate gene (Kuiper et al. 1996). The finding of ER was met with great surprise, as the existence of more than one estrogen receptor had been actively denied for several decades. Attempts to clone

Estrogen receptor ß is involved in the anorectic action of estrogen [PDF]

International Journal of Obesity, 2002
Estrogen has been implicated in feeding behavior and adiposity. This study was undertaken to elucidate the mechanism underlying the anti-obesity and anorectic action of estrogen and the role of estrogen receptor (ER) in the central nervous system.Ovariectomy in 8-week-old female Wistar rats induced hyperphagia along with an increase in body weight and ...

Interaction of Estrogenic Chemicals and Phytoestrogens with Estrogen Receptor β [PDF]

Endocrinology, 1998
The rat, mouse and human estrogen receptor (ER) exists as two subtypes, ER alpha and ER beta, which differ in the C-terminal ligand-binding domain and in the N-terminal transactivation domain. In this study, we investigated the estrogenic activity of environmental chemicals and phytoestrogens in competition binding assays with ER alpha or ER beta ...
