Demethylation of Circulating Estrogen Receptor Alpha Gene in Cerebral Ischemic Stroke.
Estrogen is involved in neuron plasticity and can promote neuronal survival in stroke. Its actions are mostly exerted via estrogen receptor alpha (ERα). Previous animal studies have shown that ERα is upregulated by DNA demethylation following ischemic injury. This study investigated the methylation...
