All significant risk factors from the univariate analysis were included in a multivariate analysis and remained significant with little change. Interpretation: In this trial, the major risk factors for developing joint symptoms were previous HRT, hormone-receptor positivity, previous chemotherapy, obesity, and treatment with anastrozole. Discussion of identified risk factors is appropriate when counselling women before initiation of adjuvant hormonal treatment. Funding: This study was funded by Cancer Research UK and AstraZeneca (Macclesfield, UK).]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:18:52 AEDT ]]> Hepcidin and interleukin-6 responses to endurance exercise over the menstrual cycle https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44496 0.05). The time-course for hepcidin and interleukin-6 responses to exercise was different from the literature, since hepcidin peak levels occurred at 0 h post-exercise, whereas the highest interleukin-6 levels occurred at 3 h post-exercise. We concluded that menstrual cycle phases may alter interleukin-6 production causing a higher inflammation when progesterone levels are elevated (days 19–21). Moreover, during the early follicular phase a significant reduction of iron levels is observed potentially due to a loss of haemoglobin through menses. According to our results, high intensity exercises should be carefully monitored in these phases in order not to further compromise iron stores.]]> Fri 14 Oct 2022 09:04:57 AEDT ]]>
