The aromatase gene (CYP19A1) variants and circulating hepatocyte growth factor in postmenopausal women.

The aromatase gene (CYP19A1) variants and circulating hepatocyte growth factor in postmenopausal women.

Estrogen and androgen have been linked to the regulation of circulating hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), an adipose tissue-derived cytokine. It is possible that the CYP19A1 gene which alters sex hormones production may influence HGF levels. We examined the association between the CYP19A1 gene variant...
