1 The present study demonstrates that melatonin, at physiologic concentrations, modulates the synthesis and transformation of biologically active estrogens in MCF-7 cells, through the inhibition of sulfatase (STS) and 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (17beta-HSD1) activity and expression, enzymes involved in the estradiol formation in breast cancer cells.
