abstract = "In this study the Ca2+ ion flux modulation in the synaptosomal mitochondria
isolated from caudate nucleus (CN) of the ovariectomised rats was examined.
17 beta-estradiol (E2), E2-conjugated to bovine serum albumin (E-BSA), estradiol
receptor α (ERα) agonist 4,4',4''-(4-propyl-[1H]-pyrazole-1,3,5-triyl) trisphenol
(PPT), ERβ agonist 2,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propionitrile (DNP) and ERα/β
antagonist 7α,17β-[9[(4,4,5,5,5-pentafluoropentyl)sulfinyl]nonyl]estra-1,3,5(10)-
triene-3,17-diol (ICI 182,780) were used. The Ca2+ efflux inhibition of about 27%
was detected in the presence of 0.5 nmol/l E2, and of about 20% in the case of
E-BSA. DNP (10 nmol/l) was as much potent Ca2+ efflux inhibitor as E2, while
PPT (10 nmol/l) hardly had any inhibitory effect (9% efflux decrease). When E2
binding to ERα and ERβ was prevented by 1 μmol/l ICI 182,780, the Ca2+ efflux
inhibition of about 15% was detected. Our results suggest that E2 prevents Ca2+
efflux from synaptosomal mitochondria due to ERβ activation rather than ERα.
The involvement of the external E2 binding site on the mitochondrial membrane
probably different from ERα/β should not be excluded because of Ca2+ efflux
inhibition detected in the presence of E-BSA and ICI 182,780. The Ca2+ efflux
modulation could be the mechanism through which E2 exerts its neuromodulatory
role in specific brain structures.",
