Estrogen is a fundamental regulator of the metabolic system of the female brain and body.
Within the brain, estrogen regulates glucose transport, aerobic glycolysis, and mitochondrial …

Estrogens, steroid hormones critically involved in reproductive processes of vertebrates,
signal primarily through their intracellular estrogen receptors (ERs). The ERs belong to a …

Sex steroid hormones are synthesized from cholesterol and exert pleiotropic effects notably
in the central nervous system. Pioneering studies from Baulieu and colleagues have …

Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are found in every environmental medium and are
chemically diverse. Their presence in water resources can negatively impact the health of …

Abstract Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is caused by novel coronavirus Severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It was first time reported in …

Background Attempts to develop a mechanistic understanding of the effects of
environmental estrogens on fish are increasingly conducted at the level of gene expression …

There are two estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes in fish, Esr1 and Esr2 (formerly ERα and
ERβ), and in some species the Esr2 subtype has two forms, Esr2b (formerly ERβ1) and …

Estrogen hormones interact with cellular ERs to exert their biological effects in vertebrate
animals. Similar to other animals, fishes have two distinct ER subtypes, ERα (NR3A1) and …

Normal pregnancy is associated with dramatic increases in uterine blood flow to facilitate the
bidirectional maternal–fetal exchanges of respiratory gases and to provide sole nutrient …

Benzophenone (BP) derivatives, BP1 (2, 4-dihydroxybenzophenone), BP2 (2, 2′, 4, 4′-
tetrahydroxybenzophenone), BP3 (2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone), and THB (2, 4, 4 …
