We compared the oestrogenic and anti-oestrogenic properties of the two well-known phyto-
oestrogens, genistein and quercetin, on the oestrogen-sensitive breast cancer cell line MCF …

Experimental and epidemiologic studies support the view that soyfoods prevent cancer as
well as diseases and symptoms associated with estrogen deficiency. Recent research …

Quercetin causes biphasic modulation of the proliferation of specific colon and mammary
cancer cells. In this study, the possible involvement of the estrogen receptor (ER) in the …

The incidence of hormone-dependent cancers, such as those of the breast and prostate, is
much lower in Eastern countries such as China and Japan in comparison with the Western …

The flavonoids are a group of naturally-occurring, low molecular weight compounds that are
widespread in plants. Representatives of several different classes of flavonoids were tested …

We investigated the effect of the flavonoid quercetin (Q) on the proliferation of the ovarian
cancer cell line OVCA 433. Growth experiments demonstrated that Q exerted a reversible …

High consumption of phytoestrogen-rich food correlates with reduced incidence of breast
cancer. However, the effect of phytoestrogens on growth of pre-existing breast tumors …

This study investigates the importance of the intracellular ratio of the two estrogen receptors
ERα and ERβ for the ultimate potential of the phytoestrogens genistein and quercetin to …

Members of the flavonoid class of phytochemicals have previously been demonstrated to
possess estrogenic activity in a number of hormonally responsive systems. We have …

The interaction between the estrogen receptor and a variety of flavonoids was studied in the
presence or absence of estradiol using a stably-transfected human breast cancer cell line …
