Assessment of the Effects of Raloxifene on Salivary Estradiol and Progesterone Levels


Deviations from normal levels of serum E(2) and P are of interest in evaluating ovarian
function. However, the day-to-day variations in these levels necessitates serial blood
sampling or elaborate efforts to time blood draws within specific phases of the menstrual
cycle. A noninvasive method for assessment of the levels of sex steroids on a daily basis
using saliva has been developed. This study will assess the levels of estradiol and
progesterone during 3 menstrual cycles (pre-drug and after 3 and 12 months of raloxifene
therapy) in pre-menopausal women participating in a pilot chemoprevention trial of
raloxifene.
