EstrogenMenstrualcyclePosttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be conceptualized as a disorder of emotional memory showing strong (conditioned) responses to trauma reminders and intrusive memories among other symptoms. Women are at greater risk of developing PTSD than men. Recent studies have demonstrated...
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a common, multi-causal disease with potentially serious short- and long-term complications. In clinical practice, there is a need for improved plasma biomarker-based tools for VTE diagnosis and risk prediction. Here we sho
The female sexual hormone and its receptors, estrogen receptor α and β, are other crucial determinant mechanisms in gender dimorphism. It has been shown that estrogens promote proliferation of embryonic stem cells via promoting the MAPK cascade to affect the important cell cycle components, cyclins...

The main findings of our study are the following: first, in a consecutive group of patients with HFpEF symptoms, the majority of HFpEF patients (58%) were women, and 16% of the overall group had a history of AF. Second, while HFpEF women did not differ compared to men in the overall...
This also has the consequence of increased DA release in the NAc, which is under inhibitory control from the mesocortical system, leading to behavioural change [40]. Stress dysfunction involving the SNc may further have a role in the aetiology of the pre-clinical, non-motor symptoms of ...
This difference of arsenic methylation capability may be explained by the effect of estrogen. It was believed that estrogens involved in arsenic methylation protect against the skin effects of arsenic [1]. Compared to men, the efficient methylation of arsenic in women might be related to the ...
However, the abrupt fall in circulating estrogen levels might independently contribute to the rise in blood pressure, through partly unknown mechanisms, such as a direct effect on the arterial wall, the activation of the renin-angiotensin system and of the sympathetic nervous system. Postmenopausal ...
