Estradiol is a form of estrogen, a female sex hormone that regulates many processes in the body. It is available as an oral tablet, a topical gel or patch, vaginal cream, or as an injection. Estradiol is used to treat menopause symptoms such as hot flashes and vaginal changes, and to ...
in gene expression that occur during the breeding season or in response to estradiol treatment. Comparing the gene expression profiles between seasons will reveal potential effectors of estrogen signaling that promote female sexual behavior. Likewise, epigenetic changes can be detected through high-throughp...
Estradiol is a form of estrogen, a female sex hormone that regulates many processes in the body.Some estradiol products placed directly into the vagina are used for "local" treatment of vaginal menopause symptoms (such as dryness, burning, and irritation). Other vaginal estradiol products are ...
Female meadow voles are territorial and nest alone in long summer day lengths when circulating estradiol concentrations are high, but cohabit in groups in short winter photoperiods when estradiol secretion is low. The influence of day length and estradiol on same-sex huddling behavior was assessed ...
This assumption is based on the expression of hormone receptors in MCs as well as on the fact that many MC-related pathophysiological alterations have a different prevalence in females than in males. Further, serum IgE levels are much higher in allergic female mice compared...
High-fat diet and estrogen modulate the gut microbiota in a sex-dependent manner in mice ArticleOpen access09 January 2023 Estradiol-mediated protection against high-fat diet induced anxiety and obesity is associated with changes in the gut microbiota in female mice ...
While estradiol is primarily known as the female sex hormone, everyone produces it—including men. It contributes to healthy sexual function, but it circulates in much smaller quantities. [3] How to measure estradiol levels An estradiol blood test—sometimes called an E2 check—can quickly tell ...
Non-sexual social bonding between adult mammals is poorly understood, despite its importance in many species. Female meadow voles are territorial and nest alone in long summer day lengths when circulating estradiol concentrations are high, but cohabit in groups in short winter photoperiods when estradi...
Estradiol levels were divided into high and low groups according to median log-transformed estradiol levels in female and male controls. The second quartile (Q2) of the polygenic risk score in controls was used as a cutoff point Full size image...
The female sex hormone 17-beta-estradiol (E2) has widespread effects in the brain and affects hippocampus-dependent memory in animals. In humans, the interaction between stress effects and E2 has not been widely studied. We report data from a healthy sample divided into 3 hormone-status groups...
