Estrogens promote misfolded proinsulin degradation to protect insulin production and delay diabetes [PDF]
, 2018 Summary: Conjugated estrogens (CE) delay the onset of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in postmenopausal women, but the mechanism is unclear. In T2D, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) fails to promote proinsulin folding and, in failing to do so, promotes ER stress and

Estrogens and environmental estrogens
Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy, 2002 The natural female sex hormone estrogens binds once inside the cell to a protein receptor to form a 'ligand-hormone receptor complex'. The binding activates the hormone receptor, which triggers specific cellular processes. The activated hormone receptor then turns on specific genes, causing cellular changes that lead to responses typical of a ligand ...

Removal of steroid estrogens from municipal wastewater in a pilot scale expanded granular sludge blanket reactor and anaerobic membrane bioreactor [PDF]
, 2015 Anaerobic treatment of municipal wastewater offers the prospect of a new paradigm by reducing aeration costs and minimizing sludge production. It has been successfully applied in warm climates, but does not always achieve the desired outcomes in ...
