This report describes an investigation of the role of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (VD 3 ) in the regulation of estrogen receptor-โฃ (ER) in the ER-positive breast cancer cell line, MCF-7. Treatment of cells with 10 nM VD 3 resulted in a 50% decline in the concentration of ER protein at 24 h. Scatchard an

The role of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) in regulating estrogen receptor-โฃ (ER-โฃ) gene expression and activity was investigated in the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7. Treatment of cells with 40 ng/ml IGF-I resulted in a 60% decrease in ER-โฃ protein concentration by 3 h, and the amount o
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Nutrient supply to the developing mammalian embryo is a fundamental requirement. Before completion of the chorioallantoic placenta, the visceral endoderm plays a crucial role in nurturing the embryo. We have found that visceral endoderm cells express folate receptor 1, a
Estrogens have an important function in the natural history of uterine leiomyomata. The human estrogen receptor beta gene (ESR2) has been identified recently and mapped to 14q22-24, a region frequently rearranged in uterine leiomyomata and other benign tumors, including pulmonary chondroid hamartoma
## Background: Since androgens and/or estrogens must bind with specific receptors in order to elicit a response at the target organ(s), it is important to understand factors that regulate expression of androgen receptors (ar) and estrogen receptors (er). hence, the objective of the study is to dete
Estrogen regulates the synaptic plasticity and physiology of the hippocampus as well as learning behaviors that are mediated by the hippocampus. The density of dendritic spines and synapses, the number of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) binding sites, the levels of NMDA receptor subunit NR1 protein, mus
