Characterization of iodothyronine sulfatase activities in human and rat liver and placenta [PDF]
In conditions associated with high serum iodothyronine sulfate concentrations, e.g. during fetal development, desulfation of these conjugates may be important in the regulation of thyroid hormone homeostasis. However, little is known

Activation of proestrogens from hops (Humulus lupulus L.) by intestinal microbiota; Conversion of isoxanthohumol into 8-prenylnaringenin [PDF]
Hop, an essential ingredient in most beers, contains a number of prenylflavonoids, among which 8-prenylnaringenin (8-PN) would be the most potent phytoestrogen currently known. Although a number of health effects are attributed to these compounds, only a
