Endogenous sex hormone levels and mammographic density among postmenopausal women.
BACKGROUND Mammographic density is one of the strongest predictors of breast cancer risk. The mechanism by which breast density increases breast cancer risk is unclear although it has been hypothesized that breast density reflects cumulative exposure to estrogens. METHODS To evaluate this hypothesis, we conducted a cross-sectional study among 520 postmenopausal women in the Nurses' Health Stu...
متن کاملAssociations among circulating sex hormones, insulin-like growth factor, lipids, and mammographic density in postmenopausal women.
OBJECTIVE Hormone therapy use has been positively associated with mammographic density in several studies. However, few studies have examined the association between endogenous hormone levels and mammographic density. Therefore, we evaluated the relationship of endogenous sex hormones, insulin-like growth factor (IGF), and lipids with mammographic density in 88 overweight, postmenopausal women ...
متن کاملPlasma levels of enterolactone and percentage mammographic density among postmenopausal women.
AIMS Certain phytoestrogens, such as lignans, may protect against developing breast cancer. Enterolactone is a lignan metabolite produced by the intestinal flora from dietary precursors such as whole grains, vegetables, and fruits. Enterolactone has been shown to have weak estrogenic and antiestrogenic properties. We decided to examine the association between plasma levels of enterolactone and ...
متن کاملDairy consumption and circulating levels of inflammatory markers among Iranian women.
OBJECTIVE Although recent studies have shown an inverse relationship between dairy consumption and metabolic abnormalities, we are aware of no study evaluating the association between dairy consumption and circulating levels of inflammatory markers. The current study was undertaken to assess the association between the consumption of high-fat and low-fat dairy products and circulating levels of...
متن کاملAssociations among mammographic density, circulating sex hormones, and polymorphisms in sex hormone metabolism genes in postmenopausal women.
Mammographic density and serum sex hormone levels are important risk factors for breast cancer, but their associations with one another are unclear. We studied these phenotypes, together with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in genes related to sex hormone metabolism, in a cross-sectional study of 1,413 postmenopausal women from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrit...
