Estrogenic Effects of Genistein on the Growth of Estrogen Receptor-positive Human Breast Cancer (MCF-7) Cells in Vitro and in Vivo

TL;DR: Dietary genistein can act as an estrogen agonist in vivo and in vitro, resulting in the proliferation of cultured human breast cancer cells (MCF-7) and the induction of pS2 gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hormone replacement therapy with estrogen or estrogen plus medroxyprogesterone acetate is associated with increased epithelial proliferation in the normal postmenopausal breast.

TL;DR: It is shown that postmenopausal HRT with E+P was associated with greater breast epithelial cell proliferation and breast epithelium density than E alone or no HRT, and breast proliferation was localized to the terminal duct-lobular unit of the breast, which is the site of development of most breast cancers.

IARC monographs programme on the evaluation of carcinogenic risks to humans

TL;DR: The programme to evaluate the carcinogenic risk of chemicals to humans and to produce monographs on individua1 chemica1s has since been expanded to include consideration of exposures to comp1ex mixtures of chemica 1s and of Exposure to other agents, such as radiation and viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mammary gland growth and development from the postnatal period to postmenopause: ovarian steroid receptor ontogeny and regulation in the mouse.

TL;DR: Current understanding of estrogen and progesterone receptordistribution in epithelial and stromal cells and their functions in relation to mammary gland development is presented.
