Biological activities

Estradiol is a sex hormone. Estradiol increases the rate of conversion of citrate to α-ketoglutarate. Estradiol stimulates a diphosphopyridine nucleotide-linked isocitric dehydrogenase.[1] Pretreatment with estradiol reduces 70 mM K+-induced [3H]norepinephrine ([3H]NE) secretion in a concentration dependent manner with an IC50 of 2 µM. The 70 mM K+-induced cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]ι) rise is also reduced by estradiol with an IC50 of 15 µM. Estradiol also inhibits the ATP-induced [3H]NE secretion and [Ca2+]ι rise. Estradiol inhibits catecholamine secretion by inhibiting L- and N-type Ca2+ channels and P2X2 receptors in a nongenomic manner. Estradiol inhibits catecholamine secretion by blocking VSCCs and P2X2 receptors in a nongenomic manner in PC12 cells. [2] Estradiol treatment increases glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) transcription in monotypic astrocytic cultures but decreases GFAP transcription in astrocytes cocultured with neurons. [3] Addition of physiological concentrations of estradiol to pokeweed mitogen (PWM) cultures enhances the B cell differentiation without affecting the proliferative response. Estradiol apparently displays its effect by inhibiting the activity of a suppressor T cell population. [4] Estradiol exerts profound protective effects against stroke-like ischemic injury in female rats. Estradiol exerts powerful protective effects both in vivo. [5]

Protocols

Estradiol is dissolved in DMSO. [2]
