1 Estradiol inhibits vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression, and expression of VCAM-1 is one of the early events in atherogenesis. Estradiol vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 Homo sapiens
2 Estradiol inhibits vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) expression, and expression of VCAM-1 is one of the early events in atherogenesis. Estradiol vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 Homo sapiens
3 Estradiol also attenuated VCAM-1 mRNA expression, but this action was not abolished in the presence of anastrozole, indicating that anastrozole itself did not modulate VCAM-1 mRNA expression. Estradiol vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 Homo sapiens
4 In conclusion, testosterone inhibited VCAM-1 mRNA and protein expression in HUVEC by its conversion to estradiol via the enzyme aromatase present in the endothelial cells. Estradiol vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 Homo sapiens
