Hormone mediated changes in monoamine stores and regulation of enzymes of biosynthesis and metabolism in the rat adrenal gland. Influence of progesterone, estradiol, ACTH and testosterone administration.

abstract：:Most pregnant women have symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) during pregnancy. Postmenopausal hormone replacement therapy is associated with GERD. The effects of estradiol on lower esophageal sphincter (LES) motility and GERD are not clearly known. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects...
