| 17-β-Estradiol Upregulates the Stress Response in Candida albicans: Implications for Microbial Virulence (1998) | |||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||
| Conclusion: 17-β-estradiol enhances survival of C. albicans under heat and oxidative stresses. The proteins induced by 17-β-estradiol are probably heat shock proteins. Because heat shock proteins are considered to be virulence factors, 17-β-estradiol may function to promote in vivo survival. | |||||||||
