Is Timing Everything? New Insights into Why the Effect of Estrogen Therapy on Memory Mi... - 0 views

  • Women who have an oophorectomy before the normal age at menopause show an increased risk for cognitive impairment or dementia later in life unless they are treated with estrogen until the normal age at menopause
  • SIRT1 has been implicated in the disruption of mitochondrial bioenergenetics in Alzheimer's disease and mild cognitive impairment
  • the increase in dementia observed with CEE/MPA rather than CEE alone suggests potential deleterious effects of MPA on brain function in older women

  • SIRT 1 as a potential mediator of the impact of E2
  •  
    Early estrogen therapy in perimenopause and early menopause, with Estradiol, provides more health benefits than later therapy.  This article looked at Estrogen's effects on a woman's brain.  This likely has its origins in the change in estrogen receptors. The signal is not changing, but the reception of that signal is.  How else can one explain a different response to the same hormone dosage?

ARS | Publication request: Sex hormone modulation of proinflammatory cytokine and CRP e... - 0 views

  •  
    Study finds that Testosterone provided a small anti-inflammatory effect in post-menopausal women and men, whereas Estrogen increased macrophage cytokine production in post-menopausal women with elevated LDL.  Now, this study did not differentiate PCOS versus non-PCOS, nor did it look at the effects of adiposity in these hormonal effects in women.  Both of which, will effect the outcome.

  •  
    Just an abstract from the Presentation at the 2014 Scientific Session. The abstract points to a 40% reduction in CAD with the onset of BHRT (Estradiol and progesterone topical) within 6 years of menopause compared to women 10 years post-menopause.  This points to timing as a critical component of BHRT in women and CAD.

Circulating 2-hydroxy and 16-α hydroxy estrone levels and risk of breast canc... - 1 views

  • 2-OH estrogens bind to the estrogen receptor (ER) with affinity equivalent to or greater than estradiol
  • previous prospective studies have not observed any significant associations with either 2-OH or 16α-OH estrone or the ratio of the two metabolites and breast cancer risk overall.
    • Nathan Goodyear
       
      whether that risk is increased or decreased
  • it has been hypothesized that metabolism favoring the 2-OH over the 16α-OH pathway may be inversely associated with breast cancer risk (28).
  • ...24 more annotations...
  • they may act as only weak mitogens (14, 15), or as inhibitors of proliferation
  • No significant associations have been observed between 2-OH estrone and breast cancer risk
  • While 16α-OH estrone binds to the ER with lower affinity than estradiol, it binds covalently (18-20) and once bound, fails to down-regulate the receptor (21). Thus, 16α-OH estrone stimulates cell proliferation in a manner comparable to estradiol in ER+ breast cancer cell lines
  • In this large prospective study of 2-OH and 16α-OH estrone metabolites and breast cancer risk, we did not observe any significant associations overall with either individual metabolite or with the ratio of the two metabolites
  • we observed positive associations with 2-OH estrone and the 2:16α-OH estrone ratio among women with lower BMI and women with ER-/PR-tumors,
  • To date, several epidemiologic studies have examined the association between the 2-OH and 16α-OH estrogen metabolites and breast cancer risk with inconclusive results.
  • circulating estrogen levels have been associated more strongly with ER+/PR+ tumors than with ER-/PR- tumors
  • our results do not support the hypothesis that metabolism favoring the 2-OH estrone pathway is more beneficial to breast cancer risk than that favoring the 16α-OH estrone pathway
  • we observed significant positive associations of both 2-OH estrone and the 2:16α-OH estrone ratio with ER-/PR-tumors
  • Three (30, 32, 33) of four (30-33) studies observed RRs above 1 for the association between 16α-OH estrone and breast cancer risk (range of RRs=1.23-2.47); none of the point estimates was statistically significant though one trend was suggestive
  • based on animal studies, 2-OH estrone and the 2:16α-OH estrone ratio have been hypothesized to be inversely associated with breast cancer risk
  • No significant associations have been observed between 2-OH estrone, 16α-OH estrone, or the 2:16α-OH estrone ratio and breast cancer risk and the direction of the estimates is not consistent across studies.
    • Nathan Goodyear
       
      better worded is no consistent, significant associations.   There are some studies that point to the 16 catecholestrogen and increased cancer risk; limited studies show negative effects of 2 catecholestrogens on cancer risk and prospective studies available pretty much dispel the idea that the 2:16 ratio has an risk predictability.
  • we observed a suggestive inverse association with 16α-OH estrone and a significant positive association with the 2:16α-OH estrone ratio among lean women, suggesting possible associations in a low estrogen environment.
  • 16α-OH estrone increases unscheduled DNA synthesis in mouse mammary cells (27) and hence also may be genotoxic
  • Although 2-OH estrogens are capable of redox cycling, the semiquinones and quinones (i.e., the oxidized forms) form stable DNA adducts that are reversible without DNA destruction
  • In our population of PMH nonusers, we observed no associations with ER+/PR+ tumors, but significant positive associations with 2-OH estrone and the 2:16α-OH estrone ratio among women with ER-/PR- tumors
    • Nathan Goodyear
       
      one of the few studies to find this association between 2 catecholestrogens and the 2:16 ratio and ER-/PR-tumors
  • Animal and in vitro studies have shown that hydroxy estrogens can induce DNA damage either directly, through the formation of quinones and DNA adducts, or indirectly, through redox cycling and the generation of reactive oxygen species
    • Nathan Goodyear
       
      genotoxic via directe DNA adducts and indirectly via ROS; this is in addition to the proliferative effect
  • we observed a significant positive association between the 2:16α-OH estrone ratio and breast cancer risk among lean women
  • No significant associations have been observed with the 2:16α-OH estrone ratio
  • In the Danish study, no associations were observed with either ER+ or ER- tumors among PMH nonusers
  • significant positive associations with 2-OH estrone and the 2:16α-OH estrone ratio were observed among PMH users with ER+, but not ER-, tumors
  • it is possible that the genotoxicity of 2-OH estrone plays a role in hormone receptor negative tumors
  • 4-OH estrogens have a greater estrogenic potential than 2-OH estrogens, given the lower dissociation rate from estrogen receptors compared with estradiol (61), and are potentially more genotoxic since the quinones form unstable adducts, leading to depurination and mutation in vitro and in vivo
  • the balance between the catechol (i.e., 2-OH and 4-OH) and methoxy (i.e., 2-Me and 4-Me) estrogens may impact risk
  •  
    The risks of estrogen metabolism are not clear cut.  Likely never will be due to the complexity of individual metabolism.  This study found no correlation between 2OH-Estrone and 2OH:16alpha-Estrone and breast cancer risk in ER+/PR+ breast cancer.  Translated: no benefit in breast cancer risk in 2OH-Estrone metabolism or increased 2OH:16alpha estrone metabolism.  There was a positive association between 2OH-Estrone and 2:16alpha-Estrone in women with ER-/PR- tumors and low BMI.

  •  
    Birth control pills were found to reduce IGF-1 levels in the short term and long term.  Those that had used birth control pills had lower IGF-1 levels compared to those that had never used birth control pills.  This fits with the current knowledge that oral estrogen reduces HGH and IGF-1.  Those were in post-menopausal women, but this is in pre-menopaus women.  This has implications on health, weight, disease...

  •  
    For most women, the practice of pre-menopausal, preventative removal of ovaries should be no more.  Evidence does not support a reduction in ovarian cancer; but, it does support an increased risk of depression, hyper lipidemia, cardiac arrhythmia, CAD, arthritis, asthma, COPD, and asthma.
