Findings in BRCA1 mutation carriers suggest that physical activity, particularly during childhood, may be linked to a reduced risk of developing breast cancer. We investigated whether physical activity at puberty alters the expression of BRCA1 and two other tumor suppressor genes--p53 and estrogen receptor (ER)-beta--in rats. In addition, the effects on ER-alpha expression, mammary proliferation and functional...
