Serum sex hormone-binding globulin capacity and the percentage of free estradiol in postmenopausal women with and without endometrial carcinoma. A new biochemical basis for the association between obesity and endometrial carcinoma.

Abstract A significant elevation (mean ± SEM) in the percentage of free estradiol was observed in the serum of postmenopausal (PMP) patients with endometrial carcinoma (1.92 ± 0.13%, n = 13) when compared with a reference group of PMP women (1.65 ± 0.07%, n = 29, p
