Abstract excerpt
Dysregulation of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) has been linked with increased metabolic and cardiovascular disease risk. Here, we generate and characterize cardiomyocyte-specific ERα knockout (ERαHKO) mice to assess the role of ERα in the heart. The most striking phenotype was obesity in female ERαHKO but not male ERαHKO mice. Female ERαHKO mice showed cardiac dysfunction, mild glucose and insulin intolerance and...
