October 2007 |
Greetings!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and Metametrix is focused on promoting awareness and prevention with the EstronexSM 2/16 ratio. The Estronex Test measures 2 hydroxyestrone (good estrogen) and 16 alpha hydroxyestrone (bad estrogen) to provide a ratio and illustrate the risk of developing estrogen-sensitive cancers. Read on to learn more about what you can do to reduce your risk factors of estrogen-sensitive cancer for yourself, your family, and/or your patients! |
| Estronex 2/16 Ratio |
Studies have shown that women with low Estronex 2/16 ratios have much higher rates of breast cancer. Increased consumption of cruciferous vegetables, ground flax seed, soy isoflavones, and omega-3 oils can help improve your 2/16 ratio. The following articles on estrogen metabolites can be found in the Metametrix Learning Center and explain the relationship between 2 hydroxyestrone and 16 alpha hydroxyestrone with an emphasis on the ratio and link to estrogen-sensitive cancers.
Another interesting resource on estrogen metabolites and associated factors titled, "Selected diet and lifestyle factors are associated with estrogen metabolites in a multiracial/ethnic population of women" by Sowers MR, Crawford S, McConnell DS, Randolph JF Jr, Gold EB, Wilkin MK, Lasley B was reviewed by our Metametrix Science and Education Department. The article review and highlights can be viewed here. The full article is available from The Journal of Nutrition.
