Effect of estrogen and its receptors on glutamate-induced neural cell injury

It has been proven that glutamate-induced excitatory toxicity can bring damage to nerve cells.Previous studies indicate that glutamate excitotoxicity-associated neuron damage play an important role in the pathogenesis of a number of nervous system diseases,and estrogen can protect neurons from glutamate excitotoxicity-associated neuron damage,which may be mediated by estrogen receptor.This paper r…
