| Abstract | Mammographic breast density (BD) is associated with increased risk of breast cancer. This study asks which circulating metabolic and reproductive biomarkers are associated with BD, particularly dense breast area, in premenopausal women not taking exogenous hormones.In a cross-sectional study, 299 premenopausal women aged 40–49 completed questionnaires, provided a fasting blood sample, had height, weight, percentage body fat, waist and hip measurements taken, and attended a screening mammogram. Multivariate linear regression was used to calculate adjusted means for percentage BD, absolute dense and non-dense area, across categories of covariates, adjusted for day of menstrual cycle, age, parity, body mass index, percentage body fat, and ethnicity.Fasting insulin levels were inversely associated, and insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 1 levels directly associated with percentage BD, but lost statistical significance after multivariate adjustment. Sex hormone-binding globulin levels were directly associated with percentage BD, still significant after multivariate adjustment (p = 0.03). A significant inverse dose–response association was observed between progesterone levels and dense area (p < 0.01).Breast density in premenopausal women seems unrelated or inversely related to insulin resistance, levels of insulin-like growth factor 1 and its binding proteins, and levels of sex steroids; therefore, the mechanism by which radiodensity on a mammogram is related to breast cancer risk remains unclear. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
