1 OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of testosterone on extracellular signal-regulated kinase l/2 ( ERK1/2) phosphorylation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC). Testosterone mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Homo sapiens
2 METHODS: Activations of ERK1/2 stimulated by physiological testosterone were detected by Western blotting in cultured HUVEC. Testosterone mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Homo sapiens
3 RESULTS: A rapid phosphorylation expression of ERK1/2 was observed by treatment of the HUVECs with 3 x 10(-8) mol/L testosterone, especially at 30 minutes. Testosterone mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSION: Testosterone at physiological concentrations induces the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK, ERK1/2 and MEK1/2) phosphorylation within a short time, and flutamide could impair the process. Testosterone mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSION: Testosterone at physiological concentrations induces the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK, ERK1/2 and MEK1/2) phosphorylation within a short time, and flutamide could impair the process. Testosterone mitogen-activated protein kinase 3 Homo sapiens
