Abstract Backgrounds and Objectives The male predominance of gastric cancer suggests
that female sex hormones may have a protective effect against gastric cancer. We evaluated …

The cloning of a second estrogen receptor (ER), ERβ, has prompted a reevaluation of the
role of ERs in breast cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the expression of both …

Evidence exists that sex steroids such as estrogens affect epithelial ovarian cancer. The
expression profiles of the estrogen receptors (ER) and ERβ in particular have not been fully …

Objective To evaluate the expression of estrogen receptor (ER) α and ERβ mRNA and
protein in normal ovarian tissue and primary and metastatic tumors. Methods Estrogen …

The function of estrogen receptor beta (ER-β) in mammary tissue is not completely
understood. While early observations were often conflicting, more recent data suggest an …

The expression of a recently described novel estrogen receptor, ER-β, was detected in
several human breast tumor biopsy samples and several human breast epithelial cell lines …

When the level of estrogen receptor (ER)-β mRNA in tumors, determined by reverse
transcription-PCR, was assessed according to either ER status or PR status alone …

We have examined the tissue‐specific mRNA expression of ERα and ERβ in various bovine
tissues using real‐time RT‐PCR. The goal of this study was to evaluate the deviating tissue …

Two novel estrogen receptor β (ERβ) mRNA isoforms that diverge in their 5′-untranslated
regions, ERβ mRNA (0K-1) and ERβ mRNA (0N-1), have recently been identified. This …

The recent discovery of a second estrogen receptor (ER), designated ERβ, raises pressing
questions about its role in estrogen regulation of human breast cancer cells and its …
