Outline of Final Research Achievements

There have been few researches focused on the physiology of skeletal muscle in the view of sexual specificity. Estrogen receptor beta (ERb), which physiological significance was unclear on skeletal muscle, may have roles. In this study, we evaluated the effects of estrogen deficiency and supplementations of estrogen-related nutrient on the skeletal muscles using senescence accelerated mice (SAMP) and skeletal muscle-specific ERb-knockout mice.
Muscle strength and cross-sectional area of SAMP with normal feed were significantly reduced comparing to those of control. But SAMP had soy-milk rich feed, which contain estrogen-like isoflavone, were not reduced. Muscle strength and volume of skeletal muscle-specific ERb-knockout mice at early sexual maturation stage were significantly reduced comparing to those of control, but unchanged in those mice at late. Estrogen and its signaling pathway via ERb may play an important role in the functions and maturations of skeletal muscle.
