Curator's Comment: Osteoporotic rat model: nylestriol 0.30, 0.09 and 0.03 mg/kg body weight, p.o, daily https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16134591
Postmenopausal women were randomly assigned into 3 groups: group A (136 cases, nylestriol 2 mg/2 wk), group B (97, nylestriol 1 mg/2 wk) and group C (50, placebo/2wk).
Route of Administration: Oral
MG-63 cells were treated with 3 concentrations (10(-10),10(-8), and 10(-6) mol/L) of Nylestriol. Nylestriol up-regulated ERα and ERβ mRNA expression. The best concentration for Nylestriol was 10(-6) mol/L for ERα expression. As for ERβ, the best concentration of Nylestriol was 10(-10) mol/L.
