Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Elevated estradiol levels can be associated with conditions that increase the production of estrogen. Adrenal tumors and estrogen-producing tumors directly increase estrogen levels. Gynecomastia, the enlargement of breast tissue in males, can also be associated with elevated estradiol levels, as it may result from an imbalance between estrogen and testosterone.
