To compare effects of various anti-estrogens on early pregnancy. Fifty regularly cycling guinea pigs were divided into five groups (five animals/group), of which three groups received 3 mg/kg body weight Nafoxidine, Centchroman, or Tamoxifen, respectively, on the 1st, 2nd, or

Microbial virulence is generally considered to be multifactorial with infection resulting from the sum of several globally regulated virulence factors. Estrogen may serve as a signal for global virulence induction in Candida albicans. Nonsteroidal estrogens and estrogen receptor antagonists may
The ligand-binding domains of steroid receptors convey ligand-dependent regulation to certain proteins to which they are fused. Here we characterize fusion proteins between a site-specific recombinase, FLP, and steroid receptor ligand-binding domains. These proteins convert ligand binding into DNA recombination.
The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used extensively as a biological 'test tube' to study the regulation of the human estrogen receptor (ER) alpha. However, anti-estrogens, which are of great importance as therapeutic agents and research tools, fail to

The antileukemic activity of nonsteroidal antiestrogens was investigated. Tamoxifen, clomiphene and nafoxidine caused a decrease in viability of the estrogen receptor-negative T-lymphoblastic leukemia cell line CCRF/CEM, nafoxidine being the most active. A combination of clomiphene and genistein resulted in a
