Estradiol (E2) is a steroid hormone whose physiological actions are mainly mediated by its interaction with intracellular estrogen receptors (ER) leading to modification on the mRNA and protein synthesis in its target cells. However, estrogens can also activate several intracellular signal transduction cascades by non-genomic mechanisms. Estrogens must be inactivated and removed from blood through its conversion to soluble compounds with an apparent low estrogenic activity and decreased…

Estradiol increases IP3 by a nongenomic mechanism in the smooth muscle cells from the rat oviduct.

It is concluded that E2 increases IP3 by a nongenomic action operated by ESR1 and that involves the activation of PLC in the smooth muscle cells of the rat oviduct, suggesting that IP3 and CaMKII are involved in the contractile activity necessary to accelerate ovidUCTal egg transport.

In contrast to published results on endometrial cancer, endogenous serum 2-ME levels in MM were not found to be correlated with tumour stage and did not appear to be a suitable prognostic factor in MM.
2‐hydroxyoestradiol and 2‐methoxyoestradiol, two endogenous oestradiol metabolites, induce DNA fragmentation in Sertoli cells

The hypothesis that elevated intratesticular 2 OHE2 or 2ME2 concentrations could be related to male infertility since 2OHE2 by apoptosis and2ME2 by undetermined mechanisms induce DNA fragmentation in Sertoli cells is supported.
