Estrogen is a hormone that plays a role in both the male and female reproductive systems. In females, it contributes to reproductive and breast health, among other functions. Estrogen contributes to cognitive health, bone health, the function of the cardiovascular system, and other essential bodily...
Afterwards, this hormone sends signals to the brain to reduce the levels of FSH. Female sex hormones Sex hormone released by the ovaries are androgens, estrogen, and progestogen. As it happens in the testicles, the regulation of steroidogenesis in females depends on FSH and LH. In this case,...

Both males and females have a mons pubis, although it tends to be larger in females. It represents fatty tissue that's responsive to estrogen, which results in a mound to form at puberty in females, which pushes the forward portion of the labia majora out and away from the underlying pubi...
To examine whether TAp63 mediates the effect of estrogen on body weight control and glucose homeostasis, 12-week-old female pomc-TAp63 KO mice and control mice were anesthetized with inhaled isoflurane. As previously described39,52, bilateral ovariectomized (OVX) was performed followed by s.c. ...
In response to various immune challenges, females show better survival than males; the X chromosome has an important role in this immunological advantage. X chromosome-linked diseases are usually restricted to males, who have only one copy of the X chromosome; however, females are more prone to...
Sex hormones released by the testicles in males involve testosterone, while hormones released by ovaries in females include estrogen and progesterone. What are the three female hormones? The main female sex hormone is estrogen released by the ovaries. In addition to estrogen, progesterone and ...
estrogen receptor alpha; splicing isoforms; post-translational modifications; mutant mouse models1. Estrogen Receptor Alpha (ERα) Estrogens are steroid sex hormones that are critical for the development of reproductive organs and reproductive functions primarily in females. In addition to reproduction, ...
Estrogen production from the dominant follicle leads to a sharp rise in LH secretion, causing the dominant follicle to release its egg. The egg is swept into the Fallopian tube by thin structures on the ends of the tubes known as fimbriae. ...
The prevalence, symptoms, and severity of several brain disorders differ between males and females [1]. This disparity implies that sex influences the phenotype of disease-causing mechanisms [2]. Evidence of sex differences also emphasizes the need to study both sexes in biomedical research; however...
