Increased estrogen rather than decreased androgen action is associated with longer androgen receptor CAG repeats.
CONTEXT The individual variability in the waning androgenic-anabolic functions of aging men may be influenced by the CAG repeat polymorphism in exon 1 of the androgen receptor (AR), affecting androgen sensitivity. However, findings on its phenotypic effects are inconclusive. OBJECTIVE The aim was to investigate the relationships between health status, various reproductive hormones, and the AR...
متن کاملEstrogen-related receptor β (ERRβ) – renaissance receptor or receptor renaissance?
Estrogen-related receptors (ERRs) are founding members of the orphan nuclear receptor (ONR) subgroup of the nuclear receptor superfamily. Twenty-seven years of study have yet to identify cognate ligands for the ERRs, though they have firmly placed ERRα and ERRγ at the intersection of cellular metabolism and oncogenesis. The pace of discovery for novel functions of ERRβ, however, has until recen...
متن کاملEstrogen receptor β: an overview and update
The discovery of a second estrogen receptor (ER), designated ERbeta (NR3A2), has redefined our knowledge about the mechanisms underlying cellular signaling by estrogens and has broad implications for our understanding of regulation of estrogen-responsive tissues. Highly variable and even contrasting effects of estrogens in different tissues seem to be at least partially explained by different e...
متن کاملRole of estrogen receptor-β in endometriosis.
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease. The biologically active estrogen, estradiol, aggravates the pathological processes (e.g., inflammation and growth) and the symptoms (e.g., pain) associated with endometriosis. Abundant quantities of estradiol are available for endometriotic tissue via several mechanisms including local aromatase expression. The question remains, then, what mediate...
متن کاملSuppression of the inflammatory response in experimental arthritis is mediated via estrogen receptor α but not estrogen receptor β
INTRODUCTION The immune modulatory role of estrogens in inflammation is complex. Both pro- and anti-inflammatory effects of estrogens have been described. Estrogens bind both estrogen receptor (ER)alpha and beta. The contribution of ERalpha and ERbeta to ER-mediated immune modulation was studied in delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) and in experimental arthritis METHODS ER-mediated suppressi...
