increased rates of oxidation of estrone or
estradiol to 4 - OH catechols (also referred to in the literature as the 3,4 - catechol estrogen quinones), which have been identified as the principal proximal human mammary carcinogens after menarche, while an EQ > 1 reflects conversion to protective 2 - OH estrogen metabolites.2526
