Flaxseed contains several dietary components that have been linked to low breast cancer
risk; ie, n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), lignans and fiber, but it also contains …

Reduction of the highly proliferative terminal end bud (TEB) structures in the developing
mammary gland by differentiation to alveolar buds (ABs) and lobules has been suggested to …

Previous studies have shown that feeding flaxseed (FS) or its lignan secoisolariciresinol
diglucoside (SDG) to rat dams during lactation enhances the differentiation of rat mammary …

Maternal diet during pregnancy has been proposed to modify female offspring's later
susceptibility to develop breast cancer; however, most of the dietary factors identified thus far …

Previous investigation demonstrated that feeding a 10% flaxseed (10F) diet during
pregnancy and lactation enhanced the differentiation of highly proliferative terminal end bud …

Flaxseed is the richest source of the phytoestrogen lignans, containing 75-800 times higher
concentration than other plant foods in the vegetarian diet. It is also a very rich source of a …

Purpose: Against the hypothesis that high estrogen levels in utero increase the risk of
developing breast cancer in later life are data showing that pregnancy estrogen levels are …

Purpose To investigate the association between intake of flaxseed—the richest source of
dietary lignans (a class of phytoestrogens)—and breast cancer risk. Methods A food …

The exposure of rats to 10% flaxseed (FS) or an equivalent level of its major lignan,
secoisolariciresinol diglucoside (SDG), during suckling enhances mammary gland …

Flaxseed is a rich source of dietary lignans. It has been hypothesized that lignans may
decrease breast cancer risk through modulation of endogenous hormone levels. The aim of …
