Estrogen metabolite values are denoted as pg estrogen metabolite normalized by creatinine (mg/dL). Rank is based on estrogen metabolite concentration

There was insufficient urine volume for 5 participants (1 case, 3 healthy controls, 2 biopsy controls) to assay for creatinine, therefore estrogen metabolite measurements are not presented for these subjects.

E1 concentration was below the detection limit for 1 healthy control, 2-OHE1 for 2 cases and 4 healthy controls, 2-OHE2 for 1 case and 1 biopsy control, 4-OHE1 for 2 cases and 2 healthy controls, 2-MeOHE1 for 1 case and 1 biopsy control, 4-MeOE2 for 3 cases, 1 healthy and 2 biopsy controls

%= median percentage of individual estrogen compared to total estrogen

25th, 75th P = 25th, 75th Percentiles

PH: comparison between cases and healthy controls

PB: comparison between cases and biopsy controls

PH/B: comparison between healthy and biopsy controls

Significantly different comparisons based on Wicoxon Rank Sum test are bolded.
