Corticotropin-releasing factor and its receptors in the brain of rats with insulin and corticosterone deficits.

abstract：:17β-Estradiol (E(2)) plays important roles in functions of many tissues. E(2) effects are mediated by estrogen receptor (ER) α and β. ERs regulate transcriptions through estrogen-responsive element (ERE)-dependent and ERE-independent modes of action. ER binding to ERE constitutes the basis of the ERE-dependent pathway...
