Estrogen increases inducible nitric oxide synthase gene expression

Article Abstract:

Estrogen can affect the gene for inducible nitric oxide synthase, which is the enzyme that produces nitric oxide. This specific enzyme is stimulated during inflammation, which may explain some of the adverse effects of estrogen. Nitric oxide is a natural substance in the body that relaxes blood vessels.

Article Abstract:

The beta estrogen receptor is the predominant estrogen receptor in the brain of adult and fetal sheep. Estrogen has two receptors, alpha and beta, which could explain why it has different effects in different parts of the body.
