Abstract excerpt
Both estrogen and selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) such as tamoxifen and raloxifene have been demonstrated to lower plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol concentrations by stimulation of LDL receptor gene expression. To determine the molecular mechanisms of estradiol- and tamoxifen-induced LDL receptor expression, we performed transient transfection experiments with luciferase reporter...
