Effects of 17beta-estradiol and IGF-1 on L-type voltage-activated and stretch-activated calcium currents in cultured rat cortical neurons.
INTRODUCTION: Calcium transport pathways are key factors for understanding how changes in the cytoplasmic calcium concentration are associated with neuroprotection because calcium is involved in the onset of death signaling in neurons.
OBJECTIVES: This study characterized the effects of 17β-estradiol and IGF-1 o.....
