The effects of postmenopausal hormone therapy on serum estrogen, progesterone, and sex hormone-binding globulin levels in healthy postmenopausal women.
OBJECTIVE Differences in disease outcomes between users and nonusers of hormone therapy (HT) and between users of estrogen therapy (ET) and users of estrogen + progesterone therapy (EPT) may relate to differences in serum hormone concentrations between these populations. In this study, we examined the response of serum hormone levels in healthy postmenopausal women after 1 year of HT. METHODS...
متن کاملSerum sex hormone levels are related to breast cancer risk in postmenopausal women.
We conducted a nested case-control study to prospectively evaluate the relationship of serum estrogens and androgens to risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women. From 1977 to 1987, 3375 postmenopausal women free of cancer and not taking replacement estrogens donated blood to the Breast Cancer Serum Bank in Columbia, Missouri. Of these, 72 were subsequently diagnosed with breast cancer. For...
متن کاملEndogenous 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 of serum sex hormone-binding globulin and sex hormone concentrations with hip fracture risk in postmenopausal women.
CONTEXT Endogenous estradiol, testosterone, and SHBG may influence the risk of hip fracture. DESIGN AND METHODS From the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study, 39,793 eligible postmenopausal women did not have a previous hip fracture and were not using estrogen or other bone-active therapies. Of these, 400 who had a first-time nonpathological hip fracture (median follow-up, 7 yr) were...
متن کاملRe: Polymorphisms associated with circulating sex hormone levels in postmenopausal women.
BACKGROUND Reports suggest a relationship between circulating sex hormone levels and breast cancer risk, but genetic association studies have been inconclusive. We investigated the association between levels of sex hormones and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes coding for the enzymes that regulate them. METHODS We assayed circulating levels of estradiol, testosterone, estrone, a...
