ObRa and ObRe are differentially expressed in adipose tissue in aged food-restricted rats: effects on circulating soluble leptin receptor levels.

abstract：:The rapid, nongenomic effects of estrogen are increasingly recognized as playing an important role in several aspects of estrogen action. Rapid activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway by estrogen is among the more recently identified of these effects. To explore the role of estrogen...
