Axonal protection by 17β-estradiol through thioredoxin-1 in tumor necrosis factor-induced optic neuropathy.

abstract：:Lefty/Ebaf polypeptides, novel members of the TGF-beta superfamily, are involved in endometrial differentiation and embryo implantation. Recently, we showed that, during undisturbed estrous cycle, lefty is present in mouse uterine horn primarily in a precursor form. Here, we show that decidual differentiation of endom...
