Book Description
"This 8-chapter book is written by experts from China, Mexico, Portugal, United Kingdom and the United States of America. The book is focused on estrogen receptor structure, functions and clinical significance. Though we are unable to address all aspects of the estrogen receptors, we have analysed and discussed estrogen receptors or their isoforms in some major estrogen receptor-related disorders including cancers, endocrine diseases, respiratory diseases and obesity. The information provided by this book should aid our understanding the role of estrogen receptors in human diseases. This book will be of great value not only for clinicians interested in estrogen receptor-related diseases but also for basic scientists working in the field of estrogen receptors"--

Hormonally Active Agents in the Environment
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309064198
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 453
Book Description
Some investigators have hypothesized that estrogens and other hormonally active agents found in the environment might be involved in breast cancer increases and sperm count declines in humans as well as deformities and reproductive problems seen in wildlife. This book looks in detail at the science behind the ominous prospect of "estrogen mimics" threatening health and well-being, from the level of ecosystems and populations to individual people and animals. The committee identifies research needs and offers specific recommendations to decision-makers. This authoritative volume: Critically evaluates the literature on hormonally active agents in the environment and identifies known and suspected toxicologic mechanisms and effects of fish, wildlife, and humans. Examines whether and how exposure to hormonally active agents occursâ€"in diet, in pharmaceuticals, from industrial releases into the environmentâ€"and why the debate centers on estrogens. Identifies significant uncertainties, limitations of knowledge, and weaknesses in the scientific literature. The book presents a wealth of information and investigates a wide range of examples across the spectrum of life that might be related to these agents.

Estrogen — Mystery Drug for the Brain?
Author: Christian Behl
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9783211835395
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
It is well known that estrogen is "somehow” a protective hormone for various age-related disorders. This book provides a solid knowledge of estrogen’s neuroprotective activities in the brain with a special emphasis on neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s Disease. The focus is (1) to describe the biochemical, molecular, and cellular basis of the protective activity of estrogen and (2) to transfer this knowledge into the hospitals by discussing preventive and therapeutic approaches such as estrogen replacement therapy for post-menopausal women. Besides up-to-date information on estrogen and the brain, this book explains in a highly understandable manner molecular and cellular techniques by which basic data have been collected. The reader, which may include the professional specialist as well as the interested non-specialist, will also gain insight into the scientific transfer process of knowledge from basic science to the clinical situation and therefore "from bench to bed”.

Transport Across Natural and Modified Biological Membranes and its Implications in Physiology and Therapy
Author: Julita Kulbacka
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3319568957
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 145
Book Description
This book elucidates the mechanisms involved in biological membrane functions. It describes the new modalities and characterization for basic in vitro as well as computer models of biological membranes. Biological membranes are analyzed in terms of advances in molecular dynamics. The individual chapters provide an in depth analysis of images from various biological models. The potential of membrane models in the context of treatment trials is discussed. The authors present new insights and current concepts for treatment procedures (nanocarriers, electroporation, channel blockers).

Estrogen Receptors
Author: George Chen
Publisher: Nova Science Publishers
ISBN: 9781622570980
Category : Endometriosis
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Oestrogen receptors (ER) are emerging as important molecules involved in the variety of physiological and pathological activities. There are two classic oestrogen receptors: alpha and beta. Different cells and tissues have shown divergent responses to these two oestrogen receptors. While we are starting to understand the interaction between oestrogen receptors and its ligands contributes to the development of various diseases, the discovery of sub-isoforms of oestrogen receptor alpha and beta has further complicated the mechanism of oestrogen receptors. Nevertheless, continuing efforts in the study of oestrogen receptors have helped us to define their roles in diseases and to develop novel therapies against these disorders. The 11 chapters in this book are the excellent evidence to summarise our efforts in this direction. This book should be of great value to not only clinicians and medical students interested in oestrogen/ER-related diseases but also basic scientists working in the field of estrogens/ERs.

Gene Regulation, Epigenetics and Hormone Signaling
Author: Subhrangsu S. Mandal
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 3527322817
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 678
Book Description
The first of its kind, this reference gives a comprehensive but concise introduction to epigenetics before covering the many interactions between hormone regulation and epigenetics at all levels. The contents are very well structured with no overlaps between chapters, and each one features supplementary material for use in presentations. Throughout, major emphasis is placed on pathological conditions, aiming at the many physiologists and developmental biologists who are familiar with the importance and mechanisms of hormone regulation but have a limited background in epigenetics.
