Influence of Aromatase Absence on the Gene Expression and Histology of the Mouse Meibomian Gland
2013
Purpose.
We hypothesize that aromatase, an enzyme that controls estrogen biosynthesis, plays a major role in the sex-related differences of the meibomian gland. To begin to test this hypothesis, we examined the influence of aromatase absence, which completely eliminates estrogen production, on glandular gene expression and histology in male and female mice.
