## Abstract Previous studies have demonstrated that cultured human breast fibroblasts secrete a high‐molecular‐weight polypeptide which stimulates the ability of human breast‐cancer MCF‐7 cells to convert oestrone (E1) to the biologically more active 17β‐oestradiol (E2). This effect is mediated by

Recent studies have shown that high levels of the apoptosisrelated proteins bcl-2 and bcl-x, increase, while over-expression of bcl-x, or bax decreases, resistance to drugs that induce apoptosis in some human cancer cells. In the present report, we investigated whether expression of these apoptosis-
## Abstract Since the alkyl esters of __p__‐hydroxybenzoic acid (parabens) can be measured intact in the human breast and possess oestrogenic properties, it has been suggested that they could contribute to an aberrant burden of oestrogen signalling in the human breast and so play a role in the risi
