Epidemiological data suggest a protective effect for estrogen replacement therapy on colon
cancer. The estrogen receptor (ER) is required for the action of estrogen. The ER-β isoform …

Colon cancer incidence and mortality rates are lower in females compared with males, and
numerous epidemiological studies suggest that estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) …

Oestrogen Receptor β (ERβ) may protect against prostate and mammary cell proliferation
and malignant transformation. Epidemiological studies indicate that oestrogens may reduce …

Knowledge regarding the expression of the recently cloned estrogen receptor β (ERβ) in
colonic mucosa is limited. In this study, we demonstrated that five human colon cancer cell …

Gender differences in the incidence and behaviour of colon cancer suggest a hormonal
influence and epidemiological data suggest a protective effect for hormone replacement …

Estrogen receptor β (ER-β) has recently been detected in a human colon cancer cell line.
The aim of this work was to determine whether ER-β is expressed in human colorectal …

Background: Altered expression of estrogen receptors alpha and beta (ERα and ERβ) has
been hypothesized to play a role in carcinogenesis. However, little is known about the sex …

Several strands of evidence indicate that oestrogens exert a protective role against the
development of colon cancer through indirect and direct effects on colonic epithelium …

Menopausal hormone replacement therapy has been widely used to alleviate the symptoms
of menopause and to decrease the detrimental effects of ovarian hormone loss on bone …

Evidence exists for expression of estrogen receptor β (ERβ) in human colonic mucosa. Here
we investigated the expression of the classical ER (ERα) and of four isoforms of the human …
