Abstract excerpt
BRCA1 gene mutation is associated with a combination of excessive aromatase activity/expression, predominantly estrogen receptor-negative phenotypes of tumors, and only scarce information about estrogen contents in body fluids. In the present work, isotope dilution capillary gas chromatography/mass spectrometry was used to study urinary excretion of estrogens, their catechol metabolites, and phytoestrogens in 22...
