Abstract:Homogenates of normal pancreatic tissue obtained from five female and nine male subjects transformed (3H)estrone sulfate into (3H)estrone and (3H)estradiol-17 beta in vitro. No other unconjugated (3H)metabolites were found. The rates of transformation were comparable to those previously demonstrated in mammary carcinoma and greatly exceeded those found in endocrinologically unrelated pectoralis and abdominal muscle. The results may provide additional indications for a possible association between estrogens and… Show more
The amount of oestrogen receptor detected in pancreatic tissue was small, and may account for previous difficulties in its detection. The extent to which it is functional in both the normal and malignant pancreas warrants further investigation.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
