Estradiol stimulates vasodilatory and metabolic pathways in cultured human endothelial cells.

Vascular effects of estradiol are being investigated because there are controversies among clinical and experimental studies. DNA microarrays were used to investigate global gene expression patterns in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) exposed to 1 nmol/L estradiol for 24 hours...

description Vascular effects of estradiol are being investigated because there are controversies among clinical and experimental studies.
