Following estrogen replacement ovariectomized rats re-established airway inflammation levels' found in intact females. In humans, a much higher asthma prevalence was found in women at reproductive age as compared to men. Serum levels of estradiol and progesterone have been direct...
Polymorphisms of the androgen receptor gene and the estrogen receptor β gene are associated with androgen levels in women. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2001;86:2562–8. CAS PubMed Google Scholar Gonda X, Telek T, Juhasz G, Lazary J, Vargha A, Bagdy G. Patterns of mood changes throughout...
about 15% of the genes in the inactive X chromosome escape the inactivation process [50]. This may create dimorphisms in immune response as the X chromosome has the highest number of immune-related genes [5,102]. Sex hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone change the immune...
The role of HER2/neu, estrogen, and progesterone receptor status in the risk and survival of breast cancer leptomeningeal metastasisRecent research on whiplash injury has challenged the long-held view of what causes chronic neck pain in car accident victims. Although it was previously thought to ...
These events are correlated with the stimulation of uterine growth. Administration of dexamethasone or progesterone blocks the stimulation of nuclear type II sites and inhibits uterine growth. The inhibition of growth occurs even though the estrogen receptor undergoes normal nuclear translocation, nuclear ...
Evidence shows coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-induced symptom severity and mortality is more frequent in men than in women, suggesting sex steroids may play a protective role. Female reproductive steroids, estrogen and progesterone, and its metabolite allopregnanolone, are anti-inflammatory, ...
Variant estrogen receptors are expressed to a greater extent in male patients with chronic liver disease than in females. These lines of evidence suggest that the greater progression of hepatic fibrosis and HCC in men and postmenopausal women may be due, at least in part, to lower production of...
and has been shown to be fruitful in improving quality of life in women suffering from postmenopausal discomforts. An often forgotten condition associated with menopause is the optic nerve disorder, glaucoma. Thus, estrogen may also have an impact in maintaining the retinal ganglion cells (RGCs),...
