Nathan Goodyear on 17 Nov 12Tamoxifen and more importantly, flaxseed increases endogenous IL-1Ra that is a known inhibitor of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1alpha and IL-1beta. These pro-inflammatory cytokines are associated with breast cancer. Conclusion: diet modification can effect inflammatory cytokines associated with breast cancer. This should be explored as true preventative therapies for women. This study also found a positive association with estradiol and IL-1Beta in breast tissue and SC fat; inversely associated with IL-Ra in the breast.
