Estrogens are essential for several regulatory functions, especially in sexual maturity, reproduction, and post-menopause. In addition, these hormones play a role in energy metabolism. This protective effect is clearly observed in humans and animal models with low levels of estradiol (E2), where E2 replacement reverses several parameters related to the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular …
Estradiol receptors (ERs) stimulation shows significant metabolic benefits after menopause. However, it is also related to an increased risk of hormone-dependent cancer and thrombosis. In this sense, the selective activation of the beta-type estradiol receptor (ER²) has shown antitumor action, besides the ability to modulate metabolic indicators of mitochondrial function. Surprisingly, to…
Estrogen signaling is crucial for both reproductive functions and energy metabolism. Estradiol (E2) enhances insulin production and secretion in pancreatic beta cells and insulin signaling in various tissues, including the liver. This project aims to investigate ER²'s impact on liver metabolism, a topic that remains underexplored.Postmenopausal E2 deficiency increases the risk of metaboli…
