In this study, 2282 women with breast cancer and blood draw post diagnosis were included and cross-sectional associations between circulating levels of 15 sterols/oxysterols and (a) lifestyle, anthropometric, reproductive characteristics, (b) comorbidities and medication use, and (c) breast cancer tumor and treatment characteristics were calculated using generalized linear models. Obesity was strongly associated with circulating levels of 7-dehydrocholesterol (DC) (body mass index ≥ 30 vs. 18.5-24.9 kg/m2: 51.7 KW - Humans KW - Female KW - Oxysterols: metabolism KW - Cross-Sectional Studies KW - Breast Neoplasms: metabolism KW - Cholesterol: metabolism KW - Sterols KW - Phytosterols KW - Life Style KW - Oxysterols (NLM Chemicals) KW - Cholesterol (NLM Chemicals) KW - Sterols (NLM Chemicals) KW - Phytosterols (NLM Chemicals) LB - PUB:(DE-HGF)16 C6 - pmid:38424253 C2 - pmc:PMC10904394 DO - DOI:10.1038/s41598-024-55316-x UR - https://inrepo02.dkfz.de/record/288794 ER -
