Associations between polymorphisms in glucuronidation and sulfation enzymes and sex steroid concentrations in premenopausal women in the United States.
The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology ·doi:10.1016/j.jsbmb.2010.12.014

Glucuronidation, catalyzed by UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT) and sulfation, catalyzed by sulfotransferases (SULT), are pathways through which sex steroids are metabolized to less active compounds. These enzymes are highly polymorphic an…

Non–Dioxin-Like Polychlorinated Biphenyls and Risk of Endometriosis
Environmental health perspectives ·doi:10.1289/ehp.0901444

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, a gynecologic disorder affecting 8-10% of reproductive-age women in the United States, is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus and is linked to pelvic pain and infertility. Environmenta…

Associations between endogenous sex hormone levels and mammographic and bone densities in premenopausal women.
Cancer causes & control : CCC ·doi:10.1007/s10552-009-9321-3

PurposeMammographic breast and bone mineral densities (BMD) have been associated with luteal phase hormone concentrations in premenopausal women. We assessed the associations of breast and bone densities with follicular phase hormones and s…
