Abstract
In the brain, as in other tissues, estradiol interacts with growth factors. One of the growth factors that is involved in the neural actions of estradiol is insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). Estradiol and IGF-I cooperate in the central nervous system to regulate neuronal development, neural plasticity, neuroendocrine events and the response of neural tissue to injury. The precise molecular mechanisms involved in these interactions are still...
