Estrogens as well as some antiestrogens have been shown to prevent bone loss in postmenopausal women. These compounds seem to inhibit bone resorption, but their anabolic effects have been less explored. In this study, bone marrow cultures were used to compare the effect of 17β€-estradiol (E2), and tw

β¦ Synopsis
MBA-15, a marrow stromal-derived cell line, was shown to express an estrogen receptor. This finding was confirmed by in situ hybridization and receptor binding assay. An exposure to estrogen (10 12 -10 6 ο) in a dose response manner resulted in a decrease of cell proliferation as measured by MTT assay. Cell function was measured by enzymatic activities of two osteoblastic markers, CD10/NEP and alkaline phosphatase. These enzymatic activities were elevated following the estrogen treatment. This model enabled direct evaluation of the estrogen effect on stromal osteoblast cells.

Some studies suggest that estrogen acts on bone by decreasing the production of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a cytokine that increases bone resorption, by osteoblasts or bone marrow cells. However, other studies have not confirmed this, possibly because of a low and variable number of estrogen receptors (E
Songbirds have a complex neural network for learning and production of song, namely the neural song system. Several nuclei of the song system contain androgen receptors (AR), and the neostriatal nucleus HVc also contains alpha type estrogen receptors (ER). Many songbird species show seasonal changes
## Abstract The cyclinβdependent kinase inhibitor protein p21^Waf1/Cip1^ is a potent tumor suppressor. Here, we demonstrate that estradiol regulates the p21^Waf1/Cip1^ gene. Estradiol induces p21^Waf1/Cip1^ mRNA expression within 30β60βmin independent of new protein synthesis in the estrogen recept
