After previously examining 12 compounds with known endocrine activities, we have now evaluated 4 additional compounds in a Tier I screening battery for detecting endocrine-active compounds (EACs): a weak estrogen receptor (ER) agonist (coumestrol; COUM), an androgen receptor (AR) agonist
In the present study, we investigated the anti-catabolic effects of coumestrol, a phytoestrogen derived from herbal plants, against interleukin-1β-induced cartilage degeneration in primary rat chondrocytes and articular cartilage. Coumestrol did not affect the viability of human normal oral
This article describes the development and validation of two fluorescent receptor assays for the hRec-estrogen receptor subtypes alpha and beta. As a labelled ligand an autofluorescent phyto-estrogen (coumestrol) has been used. The estrogen receptor (ER) belongs to the nuclear receptor family, a
A large body of experimental evidence supports a role for oxidative stress as a mediator of nerve cell death in Parkinson's disease. To better understand the cellular insult of oxidative stress on dopaminergic neurons, we studied the cytotoxic effect of the
