Abstract:Natural estrogens have cardioprotective effects in premenopausal women. Nuclear estrogen receptors mediate genomic effects of estrogens. G‐protein coupled estrogen receptors are also defined cardiovascular system and mediate rapid non‐genomic effects. The role of estrogen receptor ER‐α and ER‐β on vasculature system is not completely understood. In this study, we investigated the effects of ER‐α and β on α1‐adrenergic receptor mediated vasoconstraction in control (C), 16‐week ovariectomized (O) and 17‐β estrad… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
