17β-Estradiol Inhibits Subarachnoid Hemorrhage–Induced Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene Expression by Interfering With the Nuclear Factor κB Transactivation

Abstract

E(2) inhibits the SAH-induced increase of iNOS by increasing the association of p65/ER, which in turn inhibits the binding of p65 to iNOS DNA. Our data suggest the potential applications of E(2) in the treatment of SAH patient.
