Are changes in expression of actin genes involved in estrogen-induced cholestasis?

M A Reyes-Romero1.   

Abstract

It is postulated that cholestasis associated with high estrogen levels found in women in various conditions, is due to alterations in structure and/or function of the system of actin microfilaments by estrogen-induced changes on expression of actin genes and/or some regulatory actin-binding protein genes. Because bile secretion by hepatocytes is apparently mediated by the microfilamentous system of actin, the proposed hormonally induced dysfunction of this system could be translated to cholestasis.
