We have known for many years that estrogen is more than the female hormone. It is essential in the male gonads, and in both sexes, estrogen has functions in the skeleton and central nervous system, on behavior, and in the
This study demonstrates that ethinylestradiol (EE2), a priority estrogenic contaminant in water, can be rapidly and selectively removed from aqueous solutions using industrial-grade polyamide 612 (PA612) particles as adsorbents. Isothermal studies showed that nonporous low surface area (20 m(2) g(-1)) PA612 particles
Aromatase inhibitors target the production of estrogen in breast adipose tissue, but in doing so, also decrease estrogen formation in bone and other sites, giving rise to deleterious side effects, such as bone loss and arthralgia. Thus, it would be
The impact of estrogens on the cardiovascular system and their ability to regulate platelet function are matters of controversy. The recent finding that estrogen receptors are expressed in human platelets renders these cells an excellent model for studying the nongenomic
