17-beta-estradiol upregulates the stress response in Candida albicans: implications for microbial virulence.
OBJECTIVE The influence of 17-beta-estradiol on the stress response of Candida albicans was studied. METHODS The survival of clinical isolates of C. albicans treated with 17-beta-estradiol after heat and oxidative stress was measured by viable plate counts. Cellular proteins were analyzed via SDS-PAGE. RESULTS The heat stress response induced by 17-beta-estradiol in C. albicans grown at 25 ...
متن کامل17-β estradiol protects ARPE-19 cells from oxidative stress through estrogen receptor-β.
PURPOSE To elucidate the mechanism of 17-β estradiol (17β-E(2))-mediated protection of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) from oxidative stress. METHODS Cultured ARPE-19 cells were subjected to oxidative stress with t-butyl hydroxide or hydrogen peroxide in the presence or absence of 17β-E(2). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) were measured using H(2)DCFDA fluorescence. Apoptosis was evaluated by c...
متن کاملChronic estradiol - 17 β exposure increases superoxide production in the
1 Women are exposed to estrogen in several forms such as oral contraceptive pills and 2 hormone replacement therapy. Although estrogen was believed to be cardioprotective, 3 lately, its beneficial effects are being questioned. Recent studies indicate that oxidative 4 stress in the rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) may play a role in the development of 5 hypertension. Therefore, we hypothesiz...
متن کاملEffects of 17-β estradiol on neurogenesis in the hippocampus of ovariectomized mice
Background & Aims: Adult neurogenesis occurs in the two main areas of the brain of most mammalian species in; sub ventricular zone, and the dentate gyrus of the hippocampus. Many factors such as 17-β estradiol affect neurogenesis in the hippocampus. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of exogenous 17-β estradiol on neurogenesis in the ovariectomized (OVX) mice. Materials & Meth...
متن کاملA Review on 17-β estradiol a Potent Therapeutic Factor of Diabetic Cardiomyopathy
Type 2 diabetes causes structural and functional changes in the myocardium, which is called cardiomyopathy. Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a distinct primary disorder process, independent of coronary artery disease, which leads to heart failure in diabetic patients. Also, DCM is a multifaceted disorder that is one of the leading causes of death in elderly and postmenopausal women. Menopause i...
