...found that those athletes with menstrual dysfunction while in high-intensity athletic training metabolized a greater fraction of their estrogen to "non-potent" forms, to which the reproductive organs will not respond. The increase in non-potent estrogen production also means that there is less normal hormone circulating in the blood, and this may lead to a lower risk of estrogen-dependent tumor development, such as breast cancer, Snow says...
Another of the project's tests follows the breakdown of estrogen by allowing doctors to trace low levels of radioactive forms of the hormone molecules through the body. "Athletes destroy estrogen faster than non-athletes, so their bodies are exposed to less" of the hormone, and this may lead to decreased cancer risk, says Barbieri, who has worked with both Frisch and Snow in the past...
