Objective: A non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (rs61742642; C to T, P386S) in the ligand-binding domain of human estrogen-related receptor beta (ESRRβ) showed possible association to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) in our previous study.
Design: This study was conducted to examine the effect of the ESRRβ rs61742642 T variant on temporary threshold shift (TTS). TTS was induced by 10 minutes of exposure to audiometric narrow-band noise centered at 2000 Hz. Hearing thresholds and distortion product otoacoustic emissions input output function (DP IO) at 2000, 3000, and 4000 Hz were measured before and after the noise exposure.
Study Sample: Nineteen participants with rs61742642 CT genotype and 40 participants with rs61742642 CC genotype were recruited for the study.
Results: Participants with the CT genotype acquired a significantly greater TTS without convincing evidence of greater DP IO temporary level shift (DPTLS) compared to participants with the CC genotype.
Conclusion: The results indicated that the ESRRβ polymorphism is associated with TTS. Future studies were recommended to explore molecular pathways leading to increased susceptibility to NIHL.

Estrogen fluctuations during the menstrual cycle, puberty, postpartum, or in the menopausal transition are associated with cognitive, affective, and behavioral effects. Additionally, estrogens are essential in hormonal contraception, menopausal hormone therapy, or gender-affirming hormone therapy. This systematic review summarizes findings on the role of estrogens for structure, function, and connectivity of human brain networks.

Perfluorobutanoic acid (PFBA) is an emerging contaminant that was demonstrated to exhibit estrogen effects via action on classic estrogen receptors (ERs) in a low-activity manner. The purpose of the present study is to reveal the estrogen disruption effect and mechanism of PFBA via estrogen-related receptor γ (ERRγ) pathways. In vivo experiment indicated that PFBA accumulated in zebrafish ovary and caused ovarian injury, with disturbing sex hormone levels and interfering gene expression related to estrogen synthesis and follicle regulation.

Background: Myocarditis is an inflammation of the heart muscle most often caused by viral infections. Sex differences in the immune response during myocarditis have been well described but upstream mechanisms in the heart that might influence sex differences in disease are not completely understood.
Methods: Male and female BALB/c wild type mice received an intraperitoneal injection of heart-passaged coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3) or vehicle control.

Background: Exposure to galactic cosmic radiation (GCR) is a breast cancer risk factor for female astronauts on deep-space missions. However, the specific signaling mechanisms driving GCR-induced breast cancer have not yet been determined.
Methods: This study aimed to investigate the role of the estrogen-induced ERα-ERRα-SPP1 signaling axis in relation to mammary tumorigenesis in female mice exposed to simulated GCR (GCRsim) at 100-110 days post-exposure.

Article Synopsis
- Early nutrient exposure during puberty, particularly -3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (-3 PUFA), may lower breast cancer risk, but how they affect development at the cellular level is not well understood.
- A pilot study using RNA sequencing on mammary epithelial cells from mice showed significant changes in nine genes related to estrogen signaling, glycolysis, and immune responses due to lifelong exposure to -3 PUFA.
- This research emphasizes the need for further studies to explore how -3 PUFA influences mammary gland development at a cellular level, potentially impacting breast cancer risk.
