The Estrogen Receptor's Involvement in Osteoblasts' Adaptive Response to Mechanical Strain
1 Aug 1998
Abstract excerpt
The estrogen receptor's role in bone cells' response to mechanical strain was investigated by studying the effect of the estrogen receptor modulators ICI 182, 780 and tamoxifen on the proliferation of primary cultures of rat long bone-derived osteoblasts stimulated by the independent and combined effects of 17beta-estradiol, mechanical strain, and the mitogens basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF), truncated...
