Membrane estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) participates in flow-mediated dilation in a ligand-independent manner

Membrane estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) participates in flow-mediated dilation in a ligand-independent manner

Estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) activation by estrogens prevents atheroma through its nuclear action, whereas plasma membrane-located ERα accelerates endothelial healing. The genetic deficiency of ERα was associated with a reduction in flow-mediated dilation (FMD) in one man. Here, we evaluated ex viv...
