Selective Estrogen Receptor-β Agonists Repress Transcription of Proinflammatory Genes
1 Jan 2008
Abstract excerpt
In addition to their role in the development and function of the reproductive system, estrogens have significant anti-inflammatory properties. Although both estrogen receptors (ERs) can mediate anti-inflammatory actions, ERbeta is a more desirable therapeutic target because ERalpha mediates the proliferative effects of estrogens on the mammary gland and uterus. In fact, selective ERbeta agonists have beneficial...
