Comparative Proteomic Analysis Reveals Sex and Estrogen Receptor β Effects in the Pressure Overloaded Heart
19 Nov 2014
Abstract excerpt
In pressure overload (PO), sex differences in humans and rodents have been well documented and estrogen receptor (ER) β is considered cardioprotective. However, the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. Our aim was to investigate sex- and ERβ-specific effects in protein abundance in PO employing a 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis/mass spectrometry-based proteomics approach. We hypothesized major sex...
