Hepatic expression of apolipoprotein (apo) II is in part modulated by estrogen-mediated
stabilization of its mRNA. This stabilization is due to the estrogen-regulated mRNA …

Two principle soy-derived isoflavones, genistein and daidzein, are believed to play a key
role in inhibiting tumor growth. The molecular basis of the anti-tumor activity of these two …

Background: Several secondary metabolites from herbal nutrient products act as weak
estrogens (phytoestrogens), competing with endogenous estrogen for binding to the …

Estrogen-mediated accumulation of apolipoprotein II (apoll) mRNA in the avian liver is due,
in part, to its stabilization. This stabilization appears to be due to the estrogen-regulated …

Tea catechins exert many biological effects, including anticancer and antibacterial activities.
Also, it is reported that some plant flavonoids exhibit estrogenic activity. In this study, we …

Recent investigations have demonstrated that polyphenolic catechins inhibit breast cancer
cell proliferation and tumor growth. However, the ER-mediated effects of the three …

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 …

Increased intake of phytoestrogens may be associated with a lower risk of cancer in the
breast and several other sites, although there is controversy surrounding this activity. One of …

Phytoestrogens (PEs) are naturally occurring plant components produced in a large range of
plants. They can induce biologic responses in vertebrates by mimicking or modulating the …

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 …
