Abstract excerpt
Long-term exposure to synthetic and endogenous estrogens has been associated with the development of cancer in several tissues. One potential mechanism of estrogen carcinogenesis involves catechol formation and these catechols are further oxidized to electrophilic/redox active o-quinones, which have the potential to both initiate and promote the carcinogenic process. Previously we showed that 4-hydroxyequilenin...
