Role of the estrogen/estrogen-receptor-beta axis in the genomic response to pressure overload-induced hypertrophy
16 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
Cardiac hypertrophy, the adaptive response of the heart to overload, is a major risk factor for heart failure and sudden death. Estrogen (E2) and estrogen receptor beta (ERbeta) offer protection against hypertrophy and in the transition to heart failure. However, the underlying pathways remain incompletely defined. We employed a publicly available microarray dataset of female wild-type (WT) and ERbeta knockout...
