Estrogen receptor in the heart found to regulate obesity in postmenopausal women

Estrogen is known to play an important role in the protection of women's hearts, but once women are postmenopausal and estrogen levels drop, they are at an increased risk of a number of diseases and conditions, including heart disease, obesity and diabetes.

An #introduction while I dip my toe in the Mastodon waters...

I'm a cancer researcher in Colorado and principal investigator for the Sikora Lab (sikoralab.com). We study #estrogenreceptor biology, focusing on ER in #lobular #breastcancer and gynecologic cancers. My PhD is in #pharmacology, which fuels an interest in anti-estrogen therapeutics. I also co-lead a #nuclearreceptors collaborative group, NR IMPACT (nrimpact.com).

I run on caffeine and snark.
