Sex steroids regulate skin pigmentation through nonclassical membrane-bound receptors

eLife, 2016
The association between pregnancy and altered cutaneous pigmentation has been documented for over two millennia, suggesting that sex hormones play a role in regulating epidermal melanocyte (MC) homeostasis.

Mechanisms governing the protective effect of 17b-estradiol and estrogen receptors against cardiomyocyte injury

, 2012
[[abstract]]The sex hormone 17b-estradiol (E2) is the most abundant and active estrogen in premenopausal women. Studies have shown that high circulating levels of E2 are cardioprotective and are associated with reduced risk of developing heart disease in

Leptin receptor expression during the progression of endometrial carcinoma is correlated with estrogen and progesterone receptors

, 2016
Introduction : The hormone leptin, which is produced in the adipose tissue, may influence tumorigenesis directly via its receptor (Ob-R). Thus, a role for Ob-R in endometrial carcinogenesis has been proposed.

p53, estrogen and progesterone receptors in diagnostic curettage for endometrial adenocarcinoma and their correlation with morphological data and disease stage at hysterectomy

São Paulo Medical Journal
CONTEXT: Diagnostic staging is an important prognostic factor for endometrial adenocarcinoma. Apart from the histological type and histological grade, some markers seem to be associated with the stage and biological behavior of the disease.

The regulatory function of the non-classical estrogen receptor GPR30 in porcine respiratory immunotoxicity induced by environmental exposure level of zearalenone

Environment International
Background: Co-exposure to zearalenone (ZEA) and pathogenic microorganisms can accelerate the progression of diseases, and the estrogenic activity of ZEA is potentially implicated in immune-related signal transduction mechanisms. The aim of this study is
