ABSTRACT
Objective:
To investigate the expression of estrogen receptor in genioglossus of female rats.Methods:
30 female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to three groups normal group(NORMAL), sham operation group (SHAM) and ovariectomized group(OVX). The rats were sacrificed 6 weeks after surgery, and the genioglossus was removed for analysis. The expression of estrogen receptors(ER? and ER?) was examined by immunohistochemical assay.Results:
ER? and ER? were found in genioglossus of normal rats. The expression of ER? was significantly higher than ER? (P0.05).Conclusions:
Estrogen receptors are expressed in genioglossus of female rats.ER? expression is significantly impacted by the estrogen level.
