“…E 1 ) to highly active 17b-steroids (e.g. E 2 ), and vice versa, has also become apparent, and the enzymes are expected to be involved in the local production of both classical and novel ligands for ERs in several normal and diseased tissues (for example, Chang et al 2011, Mohler et al 2011, Saijo et al 2011, Saloniemi et al 2012. It is thus likely that yet unknown endogenous small molecular compounds modulating ERs are to be discovered in the future.…”
