Relationship among ER binding, neuroprotective activity and lipid peroxidation among estrogens. All activities were categorized by ERα binding affinity and we observed a marked negative relationship between ERα binding and neuroprotection in 4 assays of neurotoxicity. GLUT indicated glutamate toxicity at 10 and 20 mM concentrations of glutamate. IAA indicated indolacetic acid at 20 and 40 mM concentrations (IAA). TBARs indicated thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARs). Reproduced from Perez et al., 2006, with permission.
