The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma is increasing in many countries. The estimated
number of new cases annually is over 500,000, and the yearly incidence comprises between …

OBJECTIVE: It has been proposed that physiologic levels of estrogens stimulate immune
responses whereas androgens suppress inflammatory reactions. Thus, prevalence of synovial …

We report that growth of LNCaP human prostate cancer cells is significantly stimulated (up
to 120% above control) by physiological estradiol (E2) concentrations. This growth increase …

Purpose: The main goal of our study was to assess estrogen contents of breast tumor tissues,
having different estrogen receptor status, in relation to long-term follow-up of patients. …

We have investigated the activity and expression of aromatase enzyme in nontumoral,
cirrhotic, and malignant human liver tissues and cells using both chromatographic and reverse …

Catecholestrogens (CCEs), namely 2- or 4-hydroxyestradiol and hydroxyestrone, are highly
polar, reactive, and extremely labile estrogen metabolites in many experimental conditions. …

The 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17βHSD) enzyme system governs important redox
reactions at the C17 position of steroid hormones. Different 17βHSD types (no. 1–4) have …

BACKGROUND Gap‐junction‐mediated intercellular communication (GJIC) is required for
normal development and tissue homeostasis. However, the role of GJIC in human prostate …

In order to betweer define potential mechanisms of growth regulation in human prostate
cancer cells, we have compared biological responses (such as short-term response to both …

We have studied the response to oestrogen and expression of oestrogen receptors in responsive
LNCaP and androgen non‐responsive PC3 human prostate cancer cell lines. Growth …
