Estrogen is involved in the growth and development of female organs such as uterus and mammary gland. On the other hand, from clinical point of view, it is recently suggested that estrogen is effective to protect postmenopausal women from osteoporosis, coronary heart disease and Alzheimer disease. In order to study the molecular mechanism of estrogen action, we have identified an estrogen responsive gene, efp (estrogen-responsive finger protein), which might mediate estrogen action in various target organs at diverse stages and targeted mutagenesis of efp gene could help clarify physiologic actions of estrogen.

Background: Due to sexual dimorphism in growth of penaeid shrimp, all-female cultivation is desirable for the aquaculture industry. 17β-estradiol (E2) has the potential to induce the male-to-female sex reversal of decapod species. However, the mechanisms behind it remain poorly understood.

Objective: This study aims to explore the role of estrogen in providing cardioprotective benefits to premenopausal women, examining how hormonal differences between sexes influence the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in women.
Materials And Methods: Eighteen female Wistar rats were equally distributed into three treatment groups. Animals in Group I (sham-operated) and Group II (ovariectomized [OVX]) received oral saline solution at a dose of 2 mL/kg.

Introduction: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains the most aggressive subtype of breast cancer, and effective therapeutic strategies are needed. Estrogen-related receptor alpha (ERRα) is considered a promising target for managing TNBC.
Objectives: Here, we aimed to screen natural products to find downregulator of ERRα and elucidate its mechanism of action.

Understanding the permeation of drugs through the intercellular lipid matrix of the stratum corneum layer of skin is crucial for effective transdermal delivery. Molecular dynamics simulations can provide molecular insights into the permeation process. In this study, we developed a new atomistic model representing the multilamellar arrangement of lipids in the stratum corneum intercellular space for permeation studies.
