Many breast tumors are hormone-dependent, and estrogens, especially estradiol (E2), have a pivotal role in their growth and development. 17beta-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17beta-HSD1) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of female sex steroids, catalyzing the NADPH-dependent reduction of
Estuaries are often the final repositories for aquatic pollutants but how estuarine hydrology influences the availability of marine- and freshwater-derived pollutants is not well understood, particularly for micro-pollutants such as endocrine disrupting chemicals. To address this knowledge gap, this study

A broad analysis of adrenal gland-derived 19-carbon (C19) steroids has not been reported. This is the first study that uses liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to quantify 9 C19 steroids (androgens and their precursors), estrone, and estradiol in the adrenal vein
Estrogens play an important role in the development of breast cancer. Inhibiting 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17beta-HSD1)--the enzyme responsible for the last step in the biosynthesis of the most potent estrogen, estradiol (E2)--would thus allow hindering the growth of estrogen-sensitive

Paradoxically, a breast cancer risk reduction with conjugated equine estrogens (CEE) and a risk elevation with CEE plus medroxyprogesterone acetate (CEE + MPA) were observed in the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) randomized controlled trials. The effects of hormone therapy on serum sex
