17β-estradiol upregulates oxytocin and the oxytocin receptor in C2C12 myotubes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background The endocrinology of skeletal muscle is highly complex and many issues about hormone action in skeletal muscle are still unresolved. Aim of the work is to improve our knowledge on the relationship between skeletal muscle and 17β-estradiol ...
