Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by decreased bone mass and increased bone fracture risk. Estrogen deficiency during menopause plays a major role in post-menopausal osteoporosis by influencing bone, immune, and gut cell activity. In the gut, estrogen loss decreases tight junction proteins that bind epithelial cells of the intestinal barrier together.

Background: Macrophages are major effectors in regulating immune response and inflammation. The pro-inflammatory phenotype (M1) is induced by the activation of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) on the macrophage surface, which recognizes lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a component of Gram-negative bacterial wall, and by the binding of interferon-gamma (IFNγ), a cytokine released by activated T lymphocytes, to its receptor (IFNGR). Among the pathways activated by LPS/IFNγ is the Notch pathway, which promotes the M1 phenotype.

Isatin, a heterocycle scaffold, is the backbone of many anticancer drugs and has previously been reported to engage multiple cellular targets and mechanisms, including angiogenesis, cell cycle, checkpoint pathways and multiple kinases. Here, we report that a novel isatin derivative, 5i, degrades estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) in estrogen-dependent breast cancer cells. This effect of the isatin nucleus has not been previously reported.

Background: Estrogen secretion by the ovaries regulates the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis during the reproductive cycle, influencing gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion, and also plays a role in regulating metabolism. Here, we establish that hypothalamic tanycytes-specialized glia lining the floor and walls of the third ventricle-integrate estrogenic feedback signals from the gonads and couple reproduction with metabolism by relaying this information to orexigenic neuropeptide Y (NPY) neurons.
Methods: Using mouse models, including mice floxed for Esr1 (encoding estrogen receptor alpha, ERα) and those with Cre-dependent expression of designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADDs), along with viral-mediated, pharmacological and indirect calorimetric approaches, we evaluated the role of tanycytes and tanycytic estrogen signaling in pulsatile LH secretion, cFos expression in NPY neurons, estrous cyclicity, body-weight changes and metabolic parameters in adult females.
Estrogen influences the transzonal projection assembly of cumulus-oocyte complexes through G protein-coupled estrogen receptor during goat follicle development.

Estrogen is an important hormone that plays a role in regulating follicle development and oocyte maturation. Transzonal projections (TZPs) act as communication bridges between follicle somatic cells and oocytes, and their dynamic changes are critical for oocyte development and maturation. However, the roles and mechanisms of estrogen in regulating TZPs during follicular development are not yet understood.
