“…Increasing body weight or body size increases the predisposition to breast cancer, especially in post-menopausal women (Lin etal., 1971;Mirra et al, 1971;Paffenbarger etal., 1980;deWaard et al, 1981). This is probably due to increased extragonadal aromatization of androstenedione and testosterone to estrone and estradiol in obese women (Vorherr, 1980;Zumoff, 1982). We failed to observe any significant difference in the total and subcellular concentrations of estrone and estradiol between obese and non-obese women.…”

“…This is probably because, in addition to peripheral source, human breast tissues are capable of interconverting steroid hormones via various enzymatic pathways (Abul-Hajj, 1979;Miller et al, 1979Miller et al, , 1982Li and Adams, 1981;Folkerd and James, 1983 , 1981). This is probably due to increased extragonadal aromatization of androstenedione and testosterone to estrone and estradiol in obese women (Vorherr, 1980;Zumoff, 1982). We failed to observe any significant difference in the total and subcellular concentrations of estrone and estradiol between obese and non-obese women.…”
