Estrogen curbs appetite in same way as the hormone leptin
Estrogen regulates the brain's energy metabolism in the same way as the hormone leptin, leading the way to a viable approach to tackling obesity in people resistant to leptin.   view more (2007-01-04)

Low estrogen levels in men linked to increased risk for hip fracture
A new study has found that men with low estrogen levels have an increased risk for future hip fracture, and those with both low estrogen and low testosterone levels have the greatest risk.   view more (2006-05-01)

Estrogen withdrawal results in bone loss, research shows that the Estrogen Receptor has a fundamental role
Professor Lance Lanyon, Principal of The Royal Veterinary College, Karla Lee, Helen Jessop, Rosemary Suswillo, Gul Zaman from the Department of Basic Sciences at The Royal Veterinary College have shown in their research that the Estrogen Receptor has a fundamental role in bone cells by adjusting... view more (2003-07-25)

New biomarker predicts effectiveness of breast cancer drugs
University of Cincinnati (UC) researchers have identified a new way to predict when anti-estrogen drug therapies are inappropriate for patients with hormone-dependent breast cancer.   view more (2006-12-08)

Researchers say estrogen can kill breast cancer cells once fueled by the hormone
Fox Chase Cancer Center researchers say some breast cancer cells once fueled by estrogen can be killed by the same hormone.   view more (2005-12-07)

Study of early estrogen's effect on heart disease similar to WHI findings
Researchers in The Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences at Yale have launched the Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention Study (KEEPS), which will further understanding of the possible beneficial effects on the heart and arteries and/or quality of life in recently menopausal... view more (2006-03-01)

Long-term estrogen therapy linked to breast cancer risk
Long-term estrogen therapy may be related to a higher risk of breast cancer among postmenopausal women who have had a hysterectomy, according to an article in the May 8 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.   view more (2006-05-09)

Previously unseen switch regulates breast cancer response to estrogen
A tiny modification called methylation on estrogen receptors prolongs the life of these growth-driving molecules in breast cancer cells, according to research by scientists at Emory University's Winship Cancer Institute.   view more (2008-05-09)

Estrogen is important for bone health in men as well as women
Although women are four times more likely than men to develop osteoporosis, or porous bone, one in 12 men also suffer from the disease, which can lead to debilitating - or even life-threatening - fractures, mainly of the spine, hip and wrist.   view more (2007-05-11)

Estrogen plus testosterone therapy may increase risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women
Women who take a combination of estrogen and testosterone to treat the symptoms of menopause may have an increased risk of breast cancer.   view more (2006-07-25)

Estrogen therapy helps or hurts the brain depending on reproductive status
Estrogen therapy may limit stroke damage if started close to, but not long after reproductive cycles are over, according to a new animal study. The results were presented Sunday, June 15, at The Endocrine Society's 90th Annual Meeting in San Francisco.   view more (2008-06-16)

Linchpin gene may be useful target for new breast cancer therapies
University of Iowa researchers have discovered a gene that plays a linchpin role in the ability of breast cancer cells to respond to estrogen. The finding may lead to improved therapies for hormone-responsive breast cancers and may explain differences in the effectiveness of current treatments.   view more (2007-09-17)

Estrogen therapy does not appear to protect postmenopausal women from heart disease
Estrogen therapy does not appear to reduce the risk of heart attack or coronary death in healthy postmenopausal women, although some data suggest a lower coronary heart disease risk in women aged 50 to 59 years.   view more (2006-02-14)

Variants in three estrogen-related genes linked to Parkinson's disease in women
Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered a possible connection between increased risk for Parkinson's disease and variants in three genes that control estrogen production and activity in the body.   view more (2006-04-05)

New Genetic Marker for Osteoarthritis - Study Links Estrogen Receptor to Osteoarthritis in Both Men and Women
Among patients with osteoarthritis (OA), a degenerative joint disease, postmenopausal women are the most prevalent. This fact has led to many hypotheses about the role of sex hormones in the cause and effects of OA. Medical researchers at Erasmus MC in the Netherlands recently uncovered a... view more (2003-06-26)

Soy phytoestrogens may block estrogen effects
Research in monkeys suggests that the natural plant estrogens found in soy do not increase markers of breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women.   view more (2006-01-16)

Postmenopausal hormone therapy appears to increase risk of blood clots in veins
Estrogen therapy may increase the risk of venous thrombosis, the formation of blood clots in the veins, among postmenopausal women who have had their uterus removed.   view more (2006-04-11)

Estrogen study provides new impetus for development of colon cancer drugs
The female hormone estrogen may hold important clues for scientists working on new therapies for colon cancer, a study by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute researchers suggests.   view more (2006-12-19)

Study uncovers significant functional differences of novel estrogen receptor
Because of these differences, this new estrogen receptor could become an important therapeutic target and may play a further signaling role in other estrogen target tissues, including uterus and prostate tissues.   view more (2006-06-09)

New discovery may help doctors treat infertility
New research suggests that medications commonly referred to as fertility drugs may be ineffective for women who lack a gene called the estrogen receptor beta.   view more (2005-07-21)

Unique estrogen receptor linked to metastatic breast cancer
Breast cancer awareness month may have passed, but researchers remain focused on the disease with a new study showing that a unique estrogen receptor found in breast cancer tumors is a predictor of tumor size and metastases.   view more (2006-11-01)
