Introduction: While a great degree of focus has recently been placed on identifying novel steroidogenic pathways that are active in cancer development (e.g. Androgen metabolism and Androgen Receptor (AR) Signalling, Glucocorticoid Metabolism and Glucocorticoid receptor (GR) signalling) very few studies have examined these pathways in normal breast samples taken under non-pathological conditions. Furthermore, very few studies have examined the steroid levels in non-pathological...
