Differential regulation of apoptosis-associated genes by estrogen receptor alpha in human neuroblastoma cells
1 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The neuroendocrinology of female sex hormones is of great interest for a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders. In fact, estrogens and estrogen receptors (ERs) exert neuromodulatory and neuroprotective functions. Here we investigated potential targets of the ER subtype alpha that may mediate neuroprotection and focused on direct modulators and downstream executors of apoptosis. METHODS: We employed...
