Estrogenic Activities in Rodent Estrogen-Free Diets [PDF]

Endocrinology, 2005
Diets lacking soy and alpha-alpha derivatives that are considered to be estrogen-free by standard bioassays (uterotrophic assay and vaginal opening) have been revealed to contain considerable amounts of compounds able to transcriptionally activate the estrogen receptors (ERs) and stimulate luciferase expression in several organs of the ERE-Luc reporter

Estrogenic plant extracts reverse weight gain and fat accumulation without causing mammary gland or uterine proliferation. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Long-term estrogen deficiency increases the risk of obesity, diabetes and metabolic syndrome in postmenopausal women. Menopausal hormone therapy containing estrogens might prevent these conditions, but its prolonged use increases the risk of breast ...

Inhibition of Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer by Estrogenic Compounds Is Associated with Increased Expression of Immune-Related Genes

Neoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2006
The clinical utility of estrogens for treating prostate cancer (CaP) was established in the 1940s by Huggins. The classic model of the anti-CaP activity of estrogens postulates an indirect mechanism involving the suppression of androgen production ...

Seasonal dynamics, sources, and ecological risk of estrogens in a freeze-thaw basin: Implications for aquatic ecosystems

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Estrogens have attracted extensive attention because of their harmful effects on organisms such as endocrine disturbance and reproductive toxicity. This study investigated the spatial and temporal distribution and ecological risk assessment of 7 targeted

Estrogens and Androgens in Plants: The Last 20 Years of Studies

Plants, 2021
Although the only known steroid hormones in plants are brassinosteroids, interestingly, mammalian steroid hormones such as androgens or estrogens are also part of the plant metabolic profile. This presented review is focused on the progress that has been
