Estrogen Biosynthesis and Signal Transduction in Ovarian Disease
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Estrogen mainly binds to estrogen receptors (ERs) to regulate menstrual cycles and reproduction. The expression of ERalpha (ERα), ERbeta (ERβ), and G-protein-coupled estrogen receptor (GPER) mRNA could be detected in ovary, suggesting that they play an ...

Association between circulating adiponectin levels and polycystic ovarian syndrome [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Low adiponectin levels in polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) have been largely attributed to obesity which is common among these patients. In addition, evidence also suggests that low adiponectin in PCOS may be related to insulin resistance (
