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 …

Gender-based differences in cardiovascular mortality may be due to a cardio-protective
effect of oestrogens on the myocardium. However, mRNA expression of oestrogen receptors …

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 …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the actions of 17β-estradiol on the electrical
activity of pregnant rat myometrium. The longitudinal layer of the myometrium was dissected …
