 | Does walking outdoors have the same breast cancer protective effect as walking on a treadmill indoors, away from natural light, in a typical gym atmosphere? Is the ambient exposure to sunlight important in stress and breast cancer risk reduction? Our basic premise is that the breast cancer protective mechanisms of exercise depend on context of exercise, not just on the number of repetitive muscular contractions completed over a specific period ... |

| The purpose of this research is to investigate whether eating brown seaweed (Undaria pinnatifida) can influence breast cancer risk. Brown seaweeds are popular in Japan, where the incidence of breast cancer is about 116 the rate of that reported for American women. In several animal studies of diet and cancer, adding seaweed to the normal diet resulted in longer healthy lives. In particular, we will examine cell-cell adhesion and gene ... |

| The purpose of this research is to investigate whether eating brown seaweed (Undaria pinnatifia) and soy powder can influence hormone levels that are thought to affect breast cancer risk. Brown seaweeds and soy foods are popular in Japan, where the incidence of breast cancer is about 1/6 the rate of that reported for American women. In several animal studies of diet and cancer, adding seaweed or soy to the normal ... |

| We propose to study i6 healthy postmenopausal women who normally exercise. We will ask these women to have their blood drawn before and after an hour of exercise outdoors on a sunny day and then a week later indoors on a treadmill in a room with only indoor lighting. We propose that exercise done outdoors will have a different effect on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), hypoxia inducible factors 1 ... |

| Brown seaweeds are popular foods in Japan, where the incidence of breast cancer is about 1/6 the rate of that reported for American women. Seaweed is an excellent source of fiber, contains iodine, carotenoids, and both mammalian lignans and isoflavones. Seaweed may help to prevent breast cancer by several different mechanisms involving these and other constituents. In a preliminary study of toxicity and efficacy using 5 g/day of seaweed, we ... |
