Journal ArticleDOI
Estrogen inhibits the vascular injury response in estrogen receptor alpha-deficient mice.
Mark D. Iafrati,Richard H. Karas,Mark Aronovitz,Sung K. Kim,Theodore R. Sullivan,Dennis B. Lubahn,Thomas F. O'Donnell,Kenneth S. Korach,Michael E. Mendelsohn +8 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that estrogen inhibits vascular injury by a novel mechanism that is independent of the classic estrogen receptor, ERα, which inhibits the development of atherosclerotic and injury-induced vascular lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased Expression of Estrogen Receptor-β mRNA in Male Blood Vessels After Vascular Injury
Volkhard Lindner,Sung K. Kim,Richard H. Karas,George G. J. M. Kuiper,Jan-Ake Gustafsson,Michael E. Mendelsohn +5 more
TL;DR: The presence of ER beta in male vascular tissues and the induction of ERbeta mRNA expression after vascular injury are demonstrated, supporting a role for ERbeta in the direct vascular effects of estrogen.
