what is an antibody estrogen?
471269
this antibody detects an ~67 kDa protein corresponding to the expected molecular mass of estrogen receptor (ER) on SDS-PAGE immunoblots. This antibody recognizes native estrogen receptor in the activated 4S or inactive 8S oligomeric state, with or without ligand binding. The antibody also recognizes a smaller molecular weight protein (~55 kDa) believed to be the major proteolytic fragment of the estrogen receptor alpha protein\n\nhard question even harder answer good luck!

a steroid hormone needed for differentiation of males and females (organs, voice, hair, muscle development...) \nIt is in higher levels in men because not as much is changed into estrogen as it is for women.

Anti-nuclear antibodies are antibodies directed against the cell nucleus. They are raised in several conditions, usually in an auto-immune condition where the immune system makes antibodies to fight its own body. Normally a test is  is administered in people with many arthritic type symptoms or skin rashes. The rashes could be over both cheeks and shaped like a butterfly, or a wolf. They are known to effect almost any part of the body including kidneys and brain. The most popular auto-immune disease systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE).

Yasmin. It has a WAY lower dose of the male hormones.

OH MY! I'm sorry, but this news story has everything BACKWARDS!!!\n\nEstrogen is the hormone that stimulates cell growth, NOT progesterone. Progesterone causes cells to mature and die off.\nI think that the writer may have confused progesterone, the bioidentical hormone, with progestin - the synthetic hormone that DOES cause cancers.\n\n- HRT (estrogen supplement) is the cause of many breast cancers.\n- Progesterone is known to PROTECT women from female cancers.\n\nThis article is NUTS!!

Autoimmune means that the body is attacking itself.\nExocrinopathy means that there is a problem with the exocrine system (mainly the glands that secrete outside the body...usualy refering to the GI tract)....So, a disease state that is produced from within affecting the digestive tract...

The estrous cycle refers to the recurring physiologic changes that are induced by reproductive hormones in most mammalian placental females; humans and great apes are the only mammals who undergo a menstrual cycle instead. Estrus cycles start after puberty in sexually mature females and are interrupted by anestrous phases. Typically estrus cycles continue until death. Some animals may display bloody vaginal discharge, often mistaken for menstruation.

Anything en excess can be harmful, but too much estrogen can increase your risk of cancer.  Talk to your doctor if you have concerns.

Soy milk or any soy product does not contain estrogens.  However, Phytoestrogens (also called isoflavones) have been found in soybeans.  Is this an important distinction?  The answer is no one knows.  Some people have shown that concentrated phytoestrogens sometimes show similar effects to estrogens (like curing menopausal hot flashes, for example) and other studies have shown phytoestrogens act like "anti-estrogens" or deactivate the mechanism that estrogen works (like preventing certain female cancers like ovarian cancer).  \n\nThe science is not very conclusive, but it's important to note that the effects of phytoestrogens in natural soy products (not in pill form, for example) are likely so weak that it has no positive or negative effects.  If your son is tolerating soy milk well (that is, no evidence of a rash or allergies), then I would continue to give it to him.  You should not worry about the effects of estrogens due to soy milk.

An antibody generated by the immune response to an antigen. Each epitope on the antigen is capable of causing the formation of a clone of B lymphocytes that will produce an antibody to that epitope\n\nPolyclonal antibodies are antibodies that are derived from different cell lines.\n\nThese antibodies are typically produced by immunization of a suitable mammal, such as a mouse or rabbit. An antigen is injected into the mammal. This induces the B-lymphocytes to produce IgG immunoglobulins specific for the antigen. This IgG is purified from the mammal’s serum.\n\nSeveral lines of B-lymphocytes produce these antibodies. These antibodies have specificity for different epitopes.\n\nBy contrast, monoclonal antibodies are derived from a single cell line.

Many antidotes are actually antibody solutions- If you have a toxin in your body, and you are given on antibody (made in a culture dish, or by a different animal) then the antibody will bind to the toxin (or bacterial protein, etc) and decrease it's toxicity.  I won't go into the biochemistry of it.

Indirectly, yes. Antibodies are produced by B cells, which are, in turn, regulated by helper T cells by chemicals called cytokines.

A) Glucose is what is known as a "reducing sugar" and can be identified by several chemical means, however you could also use an enzymatic method with a colored end product such as glucose oxidase.\n\nB) Luteinizing hormone, produced in the pituitary gland, regulates the synthesis of testosterone in the Leydig cells of the testis, it also plays an important role in the regulation of egg development and maturation in the ovaries.\n\nChemical elements? Do you mean carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, these are present in most organic compounds.\n\nIn passive immunity, you are provided with antibodies that are ready to attack an immune insult, so there is none of the lag time associated with producing the antibodies.\n\nThat's enough for now, study harder for your test!

it is an immunoglobulins test to measure the amount of antibodies in your blood.

This is a very 'controversial' issue.  A lot of scientific work is being done to gather enough evidence to give a clear answer.\n\nSoy Isoflavones have a mild estrogenic activity in the body.  They compete with estrogen by binding to estrogen receptors.  However, they only weakly activate the receptor, whereas estrogen strongly activates the receptor.  For most women the net effect of this is to 'modulate' the estrogen receptor response.  This means if the woman's estrogen levels are too HIGH, the soy isoflavones will reduce estrogen receptor responses.  And, if the woman's estrogen levels are too LOW, the soy isoflavones will bind to the receptor and initiate at least a little response (increasing her receptor responses overall).\n\nSo, the best way to think about all of this, is to think of 'soy' as an estrogen 'modifier' or 'moderator'.  If estrogen activity is too high, soy lowers it.  But, if estrogen activity is too low, soy raises it.  It is a pretty neat 'biologic trick' that will be 'productive' for most women.\n\nHope you find this helpful.  Best wishes and good luck.
