Estrogens regulate neuroinflammatory genes via estrogen receptors alpha and beta in the frontal cortex of middle-aged female rats
7th Space Interactive July 23, 2011 Estrogens exert anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects in the brain mainly via estrogen receptors alpha (ERalpha) and beta (ERbeta). These receptors are members of the nuclear receptor superfamily of ligand-dependent transcription factors. This study was aimed at the elucidation of the effects of ERalpha and ERbeta agonists on the expression […]
