Estrogen receptor agonists and immune system in ovariectomized mice.

2006

Several data implicate the immune system in bone lost after estrogen deficiency, however, some of the effects on the immune system of estrogen deficiency or of estrogen receptor (ER) modulation are not well established. In this study, the effect of ER agonists on the immune system in ovariectomized mice is analyzed. Mice were ovariectomized and were administered 17β-estradiol (E2), raloxifene (RAL) or genistein (GEN). The effect of a 4-week treatment on bone turnover and on several parameters that reflect the status of the immune system was studied. Results show that ovariectomy provoked both uterine atrophy and thymic hypertrophy. Although RAL corrected thymic hypertrophy, only E2 correct…

Comparative effects of estradiol, raloxifene, and genistein on the uterus of ovariectomized mice.

2005

To explore the uterine effects of administration of compounds that exert their bone-sparing functions through estrogen receptors, we administered 17beta-E2, raloxifene, or genistein to ovariectomized mice and analyzed the uterus weight and histology 4 weeks after beginning the treatments. Results indicated that raloxifene and genistein have partial agonistic properties on the uterus in estrogen-depleted mice, and that genistein induced apoptosis and several atypias in the glandular epithelium of endometrium, as demonstrated in hematoxylin-eosin-stained histological sections.

Ibandronic acid subsequent to raloxifene: Effect on bone metabolism and on cardiovascular risk factors

2015

s / Maturitas 81 (2015) 144–190 161 Materials andmethods: This randomized double-blind clinical trialwas carried out inAhvaz (Iran) fromAugust toDecember 2010. Forty postmenopausal women with symptoms of vaginal atrophy were randomly allocated to two groups to take vaginal suppositories of either 5mg hyaluronic acid sodium salt (n=20) or 1mg vitamin E (n=20) for 8 weeks. The symptoms of vaginal atrophy were evaluated by a self-assessed 4-point scale and the composite score was determined as none, mild, moderate, and severe in four periods. Results: The results showed that the symptoms were relieved significantly in both groups (P<0.001). The relief of symptomswas significantly superior in t…
