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 compelling connection between a variation in gene for the... view more... (2003-06-26)
Growth hormone is made in the brain, report scientists
Scientists have found that growth hormone, a substance that is used for body growth, is produced in the brain, according to an article published in this week's Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2006-03-28)
Estrogen therapy could be dangerous for women with existing heart risk
Hormone therapy could accentuate certain pre-existing heart disease risk factors and a heart health evaluation should become the norm when considering estrogen replacement, new research suggests. view more (2008-11-26)
Estrogen Linked to Lowered Immunity in Fish
Exposure to estrogen reduces production of immune-related proteins in fish. This suggests that certain compounds, known as endocrine disruptors, may make fish more susceptible to disease. view more (2009-06-04)
Decrease in breast cancer incidence linked to drop in hormone replacement
A special report in the April 19, 2007 edition of The New England Journal of Medicine concludes that the sharp decline in breast-cancer incidence in 2003, followed by a relative stabilization at a lower rater in 2004, is most likely related to the first report of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) and the ensuing drop in hormone-replacement... view more...

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)
Equality of the sexes? Not always when it comes to biology
When it comes to immunity, men may not have been dealt an equal hand. The latest study by Dr. Maya Saleh, of the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre and McGill University, shows that women have a more powerful immune system than men. view more (2009-05-12)
Estrogen activates critical lung genes to improve lung function following preterm birth
Estrogen may be a new postnatal therapy to improve lung function and other outcomes in preterm infants, researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found in an animal study. view more (2009-03-12)
Could hormones explain gender differences in neurological disease?
Neurological diseases including Parkinson's, Tourette's, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Alzheimer's, and schizophrenia are all associated with alterations in dopamine-driven function involving the dopamine transporter (DAT). view more (2009-06-16)
Estrogen protects liver after traumatic injury
Researchers have identified the receptor pathway used by estrogen to decrease liver injury after trauma and hemorrhage. view more (2007-04-02)
Molecular atlas provides new tool for understanding estrogen-fueled breast cancer
Lurking in unexplored regions of the human genome are thousands of previously unknown on/off switches that may influence how the growth of breast cancer is driven by estrogen. view more (2006-10-03)
Study finds estrogen therapy gives aging brain cells a boost
Cyclical, long-term estrogen injections protected brain cells from age-related deterioration, according to a new study conducted at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. view more (2007-06-26)
Evidence of estrogen and progesterone hormone allergy has been discovered by Texas researchers
Some women with menstrual cycle disorders like asthma and migraine headaches may be experiencing allergies to their own estrogen and progesterone hormones, Texas researchers have discovered. view more (2006-03-31)
Study suggests MPA is effective treatment for hot flashes
Mayo Clinic researchers working with other North Central Cancer Treatment Group (NCCTG) investigators have found that a single dose of depomedroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) more effectively reduces hot flashes than does the antidepressant venlafaxine (Effexor®) view more (2006-03-01)
Estrogen relieves psychotic symptoms in women with schizophrenia
When combined with antipsychotic medications, the estrogen estradiol appears to be a useful treatment in women with schizophrenia, according to a report in the August issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, one of the JAMA/Archives journals. view more (2008-08-05)
Estrogen can reduce stroke damage by inactivating protein
Estrogen can halt stroke damage by inactivating a tumor-suppressing protein known to prevent many cancers, Medical College of Georgia researchers say. view more (2009-07-17)
Estrogen-Dependent Switch Tempers Killing Activity of Immune Cells
The sex hormone estrogen tempers the killing activity of a specific group of immune cells, the cytotoxic T cells (CTLs), which are known to attack tumor cells and cells infected by viruses. view more (2009-08-10)
Scientists breed special rats to learn more about hypertension
Scientists at Wake Forest University School of Medicine have created a better research rat - the first to enable them to study how declining estrogen after menopause can affect hypertension, heart failure and kidney damage. view more (2005-09-23)
Jefferson Scientists Identify Gene Mutation Potentially Involved in Breast Cancer Initiation
Researchers at Jefferson Medical College and the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia and at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York have found evidence suggesting that a mutation in a gene that normally helps block the formation of breast tumors could play a role in the initiation of a major form of... view more...
