Clinical, Retrospective data, Review, Journal: Does letrozole treatment have favorable effects on the lipid profile? A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 15, 2022 Taking into account this comparison between groups, in contrast, LDL-C (WMD: -2.50 mg/dL, 95% CI: -9.94, 4.93, p = 0.510) and triglycerides (WMD: -0.89 mg/dL, 95% CI: -6.87 to 5.07, p = 0.768) did not alter. In conclusion, letrozole administration decreased the concentrations of HDL-C and tocal cholesterol, but not of triglycerides and LDL-C.

Clinical, Review, Journal: Androgens and Adult Neurogenesis in the Hippocampus. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 14, 2022 Although direct exposure to androgens in adult or middle age does not significantly influence neurogenesis in female rodents, the aromatase inhibitor letrozole enhances neurogenesis in the hippocampus of middle-aged female mice...Collectively, the research indicates that the ability of androgens to enhance hippocampal neurogenesis in adult rodents is dependent on dose, androgen type, sex, duration, and age. We discuss these findings and how androgens may be influencing neuroprotection, via neurogenesis in the hippocampus, in the context of health and disease.

(Pubmed Central) - Jan 7, 2022 Tamoxifen and letrozole did not increase the risk of endometrial cancer in premenopausal patients. Breast Cancer (BC) patients on tamoxifen or letrozole might need a pre-treatment endometrial evaluation and explanation of alarming symptoms to guide further endometrial surveillance.

Journal: New thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-based derivatives: Design, synthesis and biological evaluation as antiproliferative agents, EGFR and ARO inhibitors inducing apoptosis in breast cancer cells. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 5, 2022 An array of newly synthesized thieno[3,2-d]pyrimidine-based derivatives and thienotriazolopyrimidines hybridized with some pharmacophoric anticancer fragments were designed, synthesized and assessed for their in vitro antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cell lines using erlotinib and pictilisib as reference standards in the MTT assay...Further mechanistic evidences for their anticancer activities were provided by screening the most potent compounds against MCF-7 and/or MDA-MB-231 cells for EGFR and ARO inhibitory activities using erlotinib and letrozole as reference standards respectively...Docking experiments on EGFR and ARO enzymes supported their in vitro results. Thus, the thienotriazolopyrimidines 11b and 12 showing good EGFR inhibition and the thieno[3,2-d]-pyrimidine derivatives 3b and 9d, eliciting the best ARO inhibition activity, can be considered as new candidates as anti-breast cancer agents that necessitate further development.

Journal: Dedifferentiation in Breast Metastasis of Endometrial Carcinoma: A Diagnostic Dilemma. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 4, 2022 Mastectomy revealed a poorly differentiated malignant tumor with morphology and immunophenotype (including loss of ARID1A and ARID1B immunoreactivity) consistent with undifferentiated endometrial carcinoma with no residual low-grade component. Awareness of the phenomenon of dedifferentiation of endometrial carcinoma in a metastatic site is important to avoid misdiagnosis as a primary breast cancer or metastasis from another primary site.

(Pubmed Central) - Dec 30, 2021 After PCOS induction, Soy isoflavones (100 mg/kg) or metformin (Positive control; 500 mg/kg) was administered continuously for 28 days...At the same time, Soy isoflavones treatment inhibit the phosphorylation level of NF-κB p65 and increased the IκBα expression in ovarian tissues of PCOS rats. Overall, Soy isoflavones can improve ovarian morphology and hormone disorders in PCOS rats by inhibiting the activity of NF-κB pathway and enhancing anti-inflammatory and antioxidant capacity.
