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...

the adsorption properties and mechanics of selected endocrine disrupting compounds; 17 β-estradiol, 17 α – ethinylestradiol and bisphenol a on locally available black tea leaves waste and granular activated carbon were investigated. the results obtained indicated that the kinetics of adsorption were ph, adsorbent dose, contact time and temperature dependent with equilibrium being reached at 20 ...

allergic asthma is a complex and chronic inflammatory airway disease. interleukin-17 is a pro-inflammatory cytokine which plays critical role in the pathogenesis of allergic asthma. it has been reported that β-arrestin2 regulated the development of allergic asthma at a proximal step in the inflammatory cascade. in this study, the influence of β-arrestin2 on interleukin-17 production and express...

Environmental estrogen pollution and estrogen effects on the female reproductive system are well recognized scientifically. Among the estrogens, 17 β-estradiol is a priority in environmental estrogen pollution, and it is also a major contributor to estrogen which regulates the female reproductive system. 17 β-estradiol is carcinogenic and has a tumor promotion effect relating to breast cancer, ...

Objective(s) The effect of tamoxifen as a selective estrogen receptor modulator which is widely used for treatment of early and metastatic breast cancer was investigated on the folliculogenesis in rat's fetuses and neonates. Materials and Methods The pregnant rats assigned into test and control groups. Control group received olive oil and treatment groups received either 17-β-estradiol (10 µ...

Steroids promote the myelination and regeneration in the peripheral nervous system. Whereas, little is known about the inducing effects by which the hormones exert their effects on Schwann cells differentiation. This could be revealed by the expression of Schwann cell markers in adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs). The purpose of this study was to present the effects of progesterone and 17 β-est...
