The effect of the synthetic estradiol, 17α-ethinylestradiol, and three progestogens on calcium
influx was investigated in cell cultures of human aortic smooth muscle. Neither the synthetic …

The effect of estradiol, progesterone, and three progestogens on calcium influx was
investigated in cell cultures of human vessels under resting conditions. Estradiol significantly …

Cardiovascular effects of estrogens have been shown to be of great clinical importance
treating patients with hormonal replacement therapy or using oral contraceptives. To test …

To elucidate the mechanisms of estrogens-induced relaxation effects on vascular smooth
muscle cells, the effects of estrogens and the related hormones were examined in cultured …

The calcium antagonistic effect of 17α-estradiol derivatives was investigated in vitro in
human aortic smooth muscle cells. The substances tested were 14α-estradiol, 17α …

The clinical observation that hypertension is more common in males and postmenopausal
women than in premenopausal women suggests vascular protective effects of female sex …

Estradiol in vivo has vasodilatory properties, There is growing evidence that this effect is
medi-ated partly via blocking of voltage-sensitive calcium channels. The calcium …

The effect of estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone on calcium ion transport was studied
in the rabbit uterus. To investigate the effect of sex hormones on voltage-dependent calcium …

Bolus intravenous injections of 100 micrograms/kg 17 beta-estradiol significantly decreased
the pressor responses to norepinephrine (NE; 0.3 microgram/kg) at the fourth, fifth, and sixth …

Estrogen (E2) can pharmacologically inhibit Ca2+ influx into vascular smooth muscle cells.
However, little is known about the ability of E2 to alter vascular Ca2+ channel expression …
