The role of estrogen receptors in the control of energy and glucose homeostasis

Abstract

Estrogens have been related to energy balance and glucose metabolism for a long time; however, the mechanisms involved in their actions are now being unveiled. The development of ERalpha and ERbeta knockout mice has demonstrated the participation of these receptors in the regulation of many processes related to the control of energy homeostasis. These include food intake and energy expenditure, insulin sensitivity in the liver and muscle, adipocyte growth and its body distribution as well as the pancreatic beta-cell function. In addition, other membrane receptors unrelated to ERalpha and ERbeta function in key tissues involved in energy balance and glucose homeostasis, i.e. the islet of Langerhans and the hypothalamus. Along with naturally occurring estrogens, there are endocrine disrupters that act as environmental estrogens and can impair the physiological action of ERalpha, ERbeta and other membrane ERs. New research is revealing a link between environmental estrogenic pollutants and the metabolic syndrome.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
