Increased oxidative stress and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER stress) have been implicated in atherosclerosis. Estrogens have potent antioxidant activity but their effects on ER stress have not been well studied. Therefore, we studied the effects of estradiol and related sex

The aromatase inhibitor formestane (4-hydroxy-androst-4-ene-3,17-dione, F) is prohibited in sports by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). F possesses only weak androgenic properties and is presumed to be employed in order to suppress estrogen production during the illicit intake of anabolic

Formestane (4-hydroxy-androstenedione) is an aromatase inhibitor prohibited in sports and included, since 2004, in the list of prohibited substances updated yearly by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Since the endogenous production of formestane has been described, it is mandatory for
Estrogens are known to be important in the growth of breast cancers in both pre- and postmenopausal women. The number of breast cancer patients with hormone-dependent disease increases with age, as does the incidence of breast cancer. Although estrogens are
Formestane (4-hydroxyandrostenedione) is an effective and competitive inhibitor of aromatase, the enzyme responsible for the conversion of androgens to estrone and estradiol. Significant reductions in plasma estradiol levels are observed following intramuscular administration of formestane to postmenopausal women with advanced
