Abstract excerpt
In mammals, 17β-estradiol (E2), the primary endogenous estrogen, maintains normal central nervous system (CNS) function throughout life and influences brain responses to injury and disease. Estradiol-induced cellular changes are mediated through the activation of nuclear and extranuclear estrogen receptors (ERs), which include ERα, ERβ, and the G-protein coupled receptor, GPER1. ERs are widely expressed...
