Pulsed administration of physiological doses of E2 dissolved in miglyol rescues the phenotypes induced by OVX, and when E2 is dissolved in PBS the effects are less pronounced, possibly due to rapid wash out of the steroid.

Physiological levels of estradiol limit murine osteoarthritis progression

Treatment with a physiological dose of E2 exerts a protective role by reducing OA symptoms and prevents cartilage damage and thickening of the synovium in OVX OA mice.

Pharmacokinetic profile and in vivo anticancer efficacy of anagrelide administered subcutaneously in rodents

It is suggested that the SC slow-release formulation maintains stable drug concentrations during treatment, potentially improving therapeutic efficacy at the target site.

Sex Chromosomes and Sex Hormones: Dissecting the Forces That Differentiate Female and Male Hearts

The controversies and challenges that stem from sex-inclusive cardiovascular research are surveyed, comparing the possible causes of cardiac sex bias, elucidating sex chromosome or hormone-dependent processes in the heart, describing common lapses that imperil female and male cell and animal work, and illuminating facets of the female heart yet unexplored or still uncertain.

Ovariectomy and 17β-estradiol replacement in rats and mice: a visual demonstration.

This video article contains step-by-step demonstrations of ovariectomy and 17β-estradiol hormone replacement by silastic capsules and peroral Nutella in rats and mice, followed by a discussion of important aspects of the administration procedures.

Central versus peripheral impact of estradiol on the impaired glucose metabolism in ovariectomized mice on a high-fat diet.

The results suggest that central and peripheral actions of E(2) regulate insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism via different mechanisms, and their coordinated effects may be important to prevent the development of obesity and insulin resistance in postmenopausal women.

Estradiol prevents fat accumulation and overcomes leptin resistance in female high-fat diet mice.

Overall, E2 administration overcomes arcuate leptin resistance and partially prevents fat accumulation on these mice, and differences in response to E2 treatment of HFD-fed animals depend on their endogenous estrogenic status.

Safe and effective method for chronic 17beta-estradiol administration to mice.

Treating ovariectomized C57BL/6J mice for 6 weeks with various doses of 17beta-estradiol administered either in their drinking water or via pellets yielded physiological and supraphysiological uterotrophic responses, respectively, without urine retention, providing safe, effective, and economical ways to treat mice chronically with 17 beta-estrate.

Different methods for administering 17β-estradiol to ovariectomized rats result in opposite effects on ischemic brain damage

The results indicate that different estrogen treatment regimens result in diametrically different effects on cerebral ischemia, and the effects of estrogens on ischemic damage seem to be concentration-related, with a biphasic, or even more complex, dose-response relation.

Order of magnitude differences between methods for maintaining physiological 17β‐oestradiol concentrations in ovariectomized rats

Silastic capsules are conveniently manufactured and used and are superior to pellets and injections in reliably producing long‐term 17β‐oestradiol concentrations within the physiological range.

Impact of central and peripheral estrogen treatment on anxiety and depression phenotypes in a mouse model of postmenopausal obesity

This mouse model exhibited anxiety and depressive phenotypes in relatively short experimental periods without genetic manipulations, which would be useful for further exploring psychiatric phenotypes or screening of therapeutic candidates in postmenopausal obesity.
