## Abstract The present study was conducted to investigate the mRNA expression of the two estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes ERα and ERβ in the brain of Japanese quail embryos. We found expression of both ERα and ERβ mRNA in homogenate of whole head from 6‐day‐old embryos, and in brain homogenate from
Estrogens play important roles in the brain, acting through two receptor types, ER␣ and ER, both recognized as transcription factors. In this study, we investigated the ER mRNA and protein expression in the male and female rat brain, focusing on the hippocampus, and comparing with well-known ER␣ e
