In the liver of female mice, the transcriptional activity of estrogen receptor (ER) α oscillates in phase with the 4-d-long estrous cycle. Here systemic, genome-wide analysis demonstrates that ER tetradian oscillation is necessary to generate pulses of expression in genes for fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis. This ER-dependent metabolic programming changes with pregnancy and after cessation of ovarian function due to age or surgical menopause, suggesting that ER signaling is optimized to coo ...[more]
