Abstract

We found that the selective stimulation of the intracellular, transmembrane G protein–coupled estrogen receptor (GPER), also known as GPR30, acutely lowers blood pressure after infusion in normotensive rats and dilates both rodent and human arterial blood vessels. Stimulation of GPER blocks vasoconstrictor-induced changes in intracellular calcium concentrations and vascular tone, as well as serum-stimulated cell proliferation of human vascular smooth muscle cells. Deletion of the GPER gene in mice abrogates vascular effects of GPER activation and is associated with visceral obesity. These findings suggest novel roles for GPER in protecting from cardiovascular disease and obesity.

  • GPER1 knockout mice are more prone to obesity, insulin resistance, inflammation, and dyslipidemia than control mice.

    “GPER1 KO mice are more prone to obesity, insulin resistance, inflammation, and dyslipidemia than control mice (147–149).”

    From Metabolic impact of endogenously produced estrogens by adipose tissue in females and males across the lifespan (2025) · cites this paper as [147]

    The passage on GPER deletion (labeled Abstract; page unavailable) reports increased body weight and visceral adiposity in knockout mice of both sexes compared with wild-type mice. Our copy does not report that these mice had greater insulin resistance, inflammation, or dyslipidemia; those parts of the claim are unsupported by this source. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
