As reported the American Journal of Epidemiology, Monday (20/10), provision of vitamin D can press the presence of hormones reseptor cancer, namely reseptor estrogen (ER) and reseptor progesteron (PR).

Reseptor hormone analogy as breast cells in the ear that will listen to signals from the hormones. When the signal ordered to grow, the cells will develop cancer in the breast cells that contain reseptor. Cancer will be called ER-positive (ER +) when the cause of development is the result of reseptor for the hormone Estrogen. Meanwhile, when the cause is the development of reseptor to progresteron hormone, called PR-positive (PR +). Feed a research associate with the presence of vitamin D hormone reseptor is done by KM Blackmore and friends from Mount Sinai Hospital in Ontario, Canada.

Research conducted by comparing 758 people with breast cancer and 1,135 control participants who did not develop the disease. The researchers found that participants who feed vitamin D to its high 26 percent decrease in risk of breast cancer ER and PR, and 21 percent decrease in the risk of tumor ER or PR. The study also suggests that vitamin D associated with a reduction in breast cancer risk regardless of whether the status tumornya ER or PR.
