Estrogen Modulates Neuronal Bcl‐xl Expression and β‐Amyloid‐Induced Apoptosis
1 Apr 1999
Abstract excerpt
Recent findings indicate that estrogen is neuroprotective, a cellular effect that may contribute to its clinical benefits in delaying the development of Alzheimer's disease. In this report, we identify a novel neuronal action of estrogen that may contribute to its neuroprotective mechanism(s). Specifically, we report that estrogen significantly increases the expression of the antiapoptotic protein Bcl-xL in...
