    estrogen and SERMS (tamoxifen, raloxifene) shown to stimulate growth of thyroid cells via regulation of vascularization.  Think about the impact of the estrogen on other cells and tissue in the body.

  • 75% of human BCs express estrogen receptors (ERs)
  •  
    ER beta expression and the ratio of ER alpha/ER beta is important in prognosis and effectiveness of SERM therapy like tamoxifen.  This study looked at the aromatase inhibitor anastrazole as well.

    Again, Testosterone and here Estradiol are merely there for libido and sex.  What tunnel vision?!  What about hsCRP?  What about fibrinogen?  What about IL-1beta?  What about TNF-alpha?  These inflammatory cytokines have all been reported to elevate as a result of estrogen production in men.   And PSA?  No mention of it here.   This linear, tunnel vision thinking on hormones has got to stop! The study points out that all clients were using AIs and SERMs irregardless of whether they had elevated estrogens or not.  That is not a well designed study.  One group should have had AI's if elevated estrogens were present and another group should not--this would compare the effects of aromatase activity.  Second, this was simply a retrospective chart review.  Third, a 50% conversion of 34,000 + men is very high when you look at the literature.  Fourth, they point to gynecomastia as a means of negative?  The cardiovascular implications are more significant.  These studies just seem to focus on superficial things.  Fifth, did libido problems exist before?  What were the free levels?   This falls in the paucity of data (2 studies) that point to excessive lowering of estradiol effecting libido and sexual performance.

    estrogen receptors are not created equally.  ER-alpha is the predominant pro-stimulatory signal receptor, whereas the ER-beta is the inhibitory receptor signaling pathway.  SERMS are not created equally as well dependent on how they bind the respective ER receptors.

An Overview of Melatonin and Breast Cancer | Natural Medicine Journal - 0 views

  • Overall its effect on cancer cells is oncostatic at physiological levels, or cytotoxic at higher concentrations
  • direct antioxidant, antimitotic, antiestrogenic, prodifferentiating and antimetastatic effects have been well characterized
  • hypothalamic-pituitary axis (HPA) and immune system
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • On a cellular level, melatonin acts as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) through decreased expression of estrogen receptor alpha and reduction in the ability of estrogen-estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) complex to bind to the estrogen response element (ERE) on DNA
  • Melatonin also acts as a selective estrogen enzyme modulator (SEEM), reducing the activity of aromatase in cells
