fibrocystic breast disease/カリウム

The relationship between nutritional factors including eating habits and the presence or absence of fibrocystic breast disease (FBD) with regard to other known risk factors has been investigated in women participating in the National Breast Screening Study (NBSS) in Montreal, Canada. Included in

This study was designed to investigate the lipidic profile of fibrocystic breast disease. The study entailed measuring total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C), very low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (VLDL-C) and triglyceride

Increased breast cancer risks have been reported among women with gross cystic breast disease (GCBD), although the mechanism for this increase remains unexplained. Relationships between GCBD characteristics, breast cancer risk factors, and the biochemical composition and growth properties of 142

beta-endorphins (beta-ends) are released from the anterior pituitary and from lymphocytes directly into inflamed tissue in response to stress and pain. At the site of inflammation and trauma, the link of beta- ends to opioid receptors hyperpolarizes nerve terminal, by blocking L-calcium gated

Gross cystic breast disease is a common benign disorder in which palpable cysts occur in the breast and are normally treated by aspiration of the contents. The cysts are classified as either Type 1, containing a high level of potassium ions and a low level of sodium ions, or as Type 2, with low

Gross cystic breast disease may be associated with a higher risk of breast cancer. There are two groups of mammary cysts: those lined by apocrine epithelium (intracystic sodium to potassium (Na:K) ratio < 3) and those lined by flattened epithelium (intracystic Na:K ratio > 3). Cell adhesion

Gross cystic breast disease is a common condition. Women with apocrine breast cysts may be at higher risk of breast cancer than women with cysts which are lined by flattened epithelium. Apocrine cysts have been shown to be associated with higher intracystic levels of dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate

In recent years, several studies focused on the biochemical analysis of breast cyst fluid composition. It has been shown that breast cysts lined by apocrine epithelium contain higher levels of potassium and dehydroepiandrosterone-sulphate as compared to cysts lined by flattened cells, and that women

Gross cystic breast disease (GCBD) is one of the most common breast diseases, and women with apocrine (type I) cysts are at higher risk of developing breast cancer than women with flattened (type II) cysts. Type I cysts contain fluid with an electrolyte composition similar to that of intracellular

Clinical trials have revealed that molecular iodine (I2) has beneficial effects in fibrocystic breast disease and in cyclic mastalgia. Likewise, povidone-iodine (PVP-I), which is widely used in clinical practice as an antiseptic agent following tumour surgery, has been demonstrated to have cytotoxic
