Our data show that EE2 produced time- and concentration-specific modulation of estrogen receptor isoforms (ERalpha, ERbeta) and androgen receptor-beta (ARbeta).

DISCUSSION: The modified YES proved to be a reliable system for the simultaneous quantification of yeast toxicity and estrogen receptor activation.

Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) are potentially useful in treating various endometrial disorders, including endometrial cancer, as they block some of the detrimental effects of estrogen.

20022167 Yamada K, Terasaki M, Makino M: A novel estrogenic compound transformed from fenthion under UV-A irradiation. J Hazard Mater. 2010 Apr 15;176(1-3):685-91.

The photo-transformed products of fenthion well-known as one of the most photosensitive organophosphorus insecticides and their estrogenic activities were investigated using a yeast two-hybrid assay incorporating the human estrogen receptor alpha (hERalpha).
We identified fenthion sulfoxide and 3-methyl-4-methylsulfinylphenol (MMS) as the major transformed products and 3-methyl-4-(methylthio) phenol (MMP) as the minor product under UV-A irradiation.

We hypothesize that Avlimil could modulate the growth of estrogen receptor positive human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells in vitro and in vivo.

Our data show that TBT produced concentration-specific decrease of estrogen receptor-alpha (ERalpha), vitellogenin (Vtg), zona radiata protein (Zr-protein) and increase of estrogen receptor-beta (ERbeta) and androgen receptor-beta (ARbeta) in the hormonal pathway.
