Abstract excerpt
Estrogens are female sex steroids that have a plethora of effects on a wide range of tissues. These effects are mediated through two well characterized intracellular receptors: estrogen receptor alpha and beta (ERalpha and ERbeta, respectively). Because of their high structural homology, it has been argued whether these two receptors may elicit differential biochemical events in estrogen target cells. Here we...
