Sex hormone-induced gender differences in vascular muscle cells motility are susceptible to the environmental disruptors

Pellegrini Marco , Marino Maria

Sex steroid hormone-induced variations of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) migration are critical in determining the sex/gender-related differences in male and female pathophysiology of cardiovascular system. Although several substances present in the environment, defined endocrine disruptors (EDs), could interfere with androgen and estrogen effects, the sex/gender-related susceptibility of VSMC motility to these substances is completely unknown. Here, naringenin (Nar) and...
