Vitamin D and estrogen receptor gene polymorphisms in type 2 diabetes mellitus and in android type obesity.
OBJECTIVE We studied the significance of BsmI restriction enzyme polymorphism of the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene and the XbaI and PvuII polymorphisms of the estrogen receptor (ER) gene in patients with type 2 diabetes (n=49), android type obesity with normal carbohydrate metabolism (n=29) and healthy controls (n=138). METHODS The distribution of genotypes in the study groups, as well as the...
متن کاملP-238: Lack of Association of Estrogen Receptor Polymorphisms with Male Infertility
Background: Estrogen is recognized as one of the significant regulator of spermatogenesis. Estrogens are synthesized in the male reproductive system (sertoli and leydig cells). Estrogen function is mediated by estrogen receptors (ER-α or ER-β). Some studies have suggested an association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2234693 (ESR1 pvuII C>T), rs1801132 (ESR1 325 C->G) of ERα g...
متن کاملAssociation of estrogen receptor 1 rs9340799 polymorphism with implantation failure in Iranian infertile women
Purpose: Estrogen as a crucial hormone during pregnancy acts by two types of receptors. Estrogen receptor alpha, expressed by estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) gene, is more abundant and exists in all human reproductive systems. Association of ESR1 gene polymorphism has been shown in some reproductive fields such as spontaneous abortion, endometriosis-related infertility and in vitro fertili...
متن کاملAssociation of Melatonin Receptor 1A Gene Polymorphisms with Production and Reproduction Traits in Zandi Sheep
Melatonin regulates some major physiological processes such as maturation and function of reproductive system, pubertal development, seasonal reproduction and adaptation. The activation of melatonin hormone is mediated by melatonin receptor. Previous studies showed melatonin receptor 1A gene (MTNR1A) is highly polymorphic in seasonally breeding species. The aim of the present study was detectio...
متن کاملAssociation between Estrogen Receptor Gene Polymorphisms and Depression in Post-Menopausal Women: A Preliminary Study
Post-menopausal women experience variable biological and psychological changes. The effect of reduced levels of estrogen can effect on post-menopausal depression. Estrogen triggers physiological responses by binding to the estrogen receptor (ER). Two subtypes of ER, ERa and ERb are now known. We investigated the significance of ERa and ERb polymorphisms and post-menopasal depression in this stu...
