Predicted exposures to steroid estrogens in U.K. rivers correlate with widespread sexual distruption in wild fish populations [PDF]
Steroidal estrogens, originating principally from human excretion, are likely to play a major role in causing widespread endocrine disruption in wild populations of the roach (Rutilus rutilus) , a common cyprinid fish, in rivers contaminated by treated ...

Effect of estrogens on boar sperm capacitation
Background Mammalian sperm must undergo a series of controlled molecular processes in the female reproductive tract called capacitation before they are capable of penetrating and fertilizing the egg.

Several reports in humans as well as transgenic mouse models have shown that estrogens play an important role in male reproduction and fertility. Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) and beta (ERβ) are expressed in different male tissues including the brain ...

Neuronal differentiation dictates estrogen-dependent survival and ERK1/2 kinetic by means of caveolin-1. [PDF]
Estrogens promote a plethora of effects in the CNS that profoundly affect both its development and mature functions and are able to influence proliferation, differentiation, survival and neurotransmission.

Molecular mechanism of estrogen–estrogen receptor signaling [PDF]
Abstract17β‐Estradiol (E2), as the main circulating estrogen hormone, regulates many tissue and organ functions in physiology. The effects of E2 on cells are mediated by the transcription factors and estrogen receptor (ER)α and ERβ that are encoded by distinct genes.

Structural plasticity of the hippocampus in response to estrogens in female rodents
It is well established that estrogens affect neuroplasticity in a number of brain regions. In particular, estrogens modulate and mediate spine and synapse formation as well as neurogenesis in the hippocampal formation.

Estrogenic plant extracts reverse weight gain and fat accumulation without causing mammary gland or uterine proliferation. [PDF]
Long-term estrogen deficiency increases the risk of obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women. Menopausal hormone therapy containing estrogens might prevent these conditions, but its prolonged use increases the risk of breast ...
