Approximate calculation of the binding energy between 17$β$-estradiol and human estrogen receptor alpha [PDF]
Estrogen receptors (ERs) are a group of proteins activated by 17$\beta$-estradiol. The endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) mimic estrogen action by bind directly to the ligand binding domain of ER. From this perspective, ER represent a good model for identifying and assessing the health risk of potential EDCs.

Modeling of mouse experiments suggests that optimal anti-hormonal treatment for breast cancer is diet-dependent [PDF]
Estrogen receptor positive breast cancer is frequently treated with anti-hormonal treatment such as aromatase inhibitors (AI). Interestingly, a high body mass index has been shown to have a negative impact on AI efficacy, most likely due to disturbances in steroid metabolism and adipokine production.

The Influence of Estrogens on the Biological and Therapeutic Actions of Growth Hormone in the Liver
GH is main regulator of body growth and composition, somatic development, intermediate metabolism and gender-dependent dimorphism in mammals. The liver is a direct target of estrogens because it expresses estrogen receptors which are connected with ...

Potassium, magnesium and pyridoxine in the context of the biological effects of estrogens [PDF]
Potassium and magnesium ions are essential for realizing the biological effects of estrogens. Magnesium ions promote the translocation of the estrogen receptors into the nucleus of the cell and regulate the potassium channels that are involved in the ...
