TL;DR: It is demonstrated that, after endothelial denudation of rat carotid artery, the mRNA of the classical estrogen receptor (ERα) is constitutively expressed at a low level whereas the expression of the novel ERβ mRNA increases >40-fold, suggesting that preferential targeting to ERβ will provide vasculoprotective estrogen analogs devoid of effects to the reproductive system.
