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

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

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which immune response and production of estrogen in endometriotic tissues are involved in the development of the disease. Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) stimulates aromatase (P450arom) expression in endometrioma stromal cells (ESCs) and increases the

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
