Objective: Quercetin is a phytoestrogen that exerts both in vitro agonistic and antagonistic
activities on estrogen receptors. The present study evaluated the in vivo estrogen-like …

The present paper aims at clarifying to what extent seven food-associated compounds,
shown before to be estrogenic in vitro, can induce estrogenic effects in male mice with an …

Dietary estrogens are believed to exert their estrogenic or antiestrogenic (chemopreventive)
action in estrogen responsive cells by interacting with the estrogen receptor (ER). The …

Botanical estrogen (BE) dietary supplements are consumed by women as substitutes for
loss of endogenous estrogens at menopause. To examine the roles of estrogen receptor α …

Epidemiologic and experimental studies support the hypothesis that dietary estrogens from
plant sources (phytoestrogens) may play a role in the prevention of breast and prostate …

In this study, we investigated the estrogenic activity of environmental estrogens by a
competition binding assay using a human recombinant estrogens receptor (hERβ) and by a …

Estrogen receptors (ERs) α and β are distributed in most tissues of women and men. ERs
are bound by estradiol (E2), a natural hormone, and mediate the pleiotropic and tissue …

The use of phytoestrogens-containing natural sources as alternative hormone replacement
therapy (HRT) has been a subject of debate for decades. Development of assays to …

Estrogen receptors (ERs) are transcription factors with two subtypes: estrogen receptor
alpha (ERα) and estrogen receptor beta (ERβ), which are essential for the maintenance of …

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