Abstract
The results of recent large clinical trials have led physicians and patients to question the safety of menopausal hormone therapy. In the past, physicians prescribed hormone therapy in an attempt to improve overall health and prevent cardiac disease. Hormone therapy appears to increase the risk of b...

Abstract
Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) interact with estrogen receptors as agonists or antagonists depending on the target tissue. Currently available SERMs are used to treat and prevent breast cancer and osteoporosis, to treat ovulatory dysfunction in women, and for contraception. Because c...

Abstract
We observed significant decreases in the phosphorylation of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), AKT, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and S-6-kinase (S6K), and significant increases in the phosphorylation of stress activated protein kinases (SAPKs). Furthermore, these changes were assoc...

Abstract
We evaluated the effect of estrogen antagonist, raloxifene (Ral), on the prevention and treatment of BPH by investigating its effect on the proliferation of two different prostate cell lines: a stromal cell line, WPMY-1, and a benign prostatic hyperplasia epithelial cell line, BPH-1. We additionally...

Abstract
Bazedoxifene acetate (BZA), a novel selective estrogen receptor modulator, is currently being developed for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women. In this study, the disposition of BZA was determined in the rat, a pharmacology and safety model. After a single 0.2 mg/k...

Abstract
We have previously demonstrated that prolonged treatments with raloxifene (RAL) in vitro will result in phase II RAL resistance and RAL-induced tumor growth. Clinical interest prompted us to re-examine RAL resistance in vivo, particularly the effects of long-term treatments (a decade or more) on the...

We found that the high passage ER-positive breast cancer MCF7H cells expressed EGFR, HER2 and WT1 at higher levels compared to the low passage MCF7L cells. MCF7H cells responded weakly to estrogen stimulation, grew rapidly in the absence of estrogen and were insensitive to anti-estrogens such as ICI...

Abstract
Since the aim of the treatment of osteoporosis is to prevent fractures, the first-line drugs must be chosen according to their antifracture efficacies. In postmenopausal women with osteoporosis, alendronate, risedronate, minodronate, and raloxifene are effective in preventing vertebral fractures, an...

The bone mass, which is controlled by the balances between bone formation and bone resorption can be reduced by estrogen deficiency in post-menopausal osteoporosis. Reduced bone mass can be recovered by hormone replacement therapy (HRT) , however, HRT has various side effects. Although SERMs can res...

Abstract
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs) such as raloxifene are characterized as anti-bone resorptive agent as well as bisphosphonate. Recently, bone mass and quality affect bone strength independently. Oxidative stress induced by hyperhomocysteinemia deteriorates bone quality in terms of coll...

Abstract
Raloxifene is the only SERM available in Japan. The effect on bone metabolism is relatively mild and slow compared with that of bisphosphonates, and reaches plateau after 6th month or later. As diurnal variations of metabolic markers, especially urinary markers are large, it is often difficult to co...
