Preliminary evaluation of perennial forage legumes for organic farming in Finland [PDF]
, 2003 In 1998-2001 fourteen forage legume species were evaluated for their productivity in mixed organic swards. The aim was to find new alternatives for red clover. Medicago falcata produced the highest dry matter yield (about 11 000 kg/ha/year).

Comparison of the toxicokinetics of daidzein and bisphenol A in pregnant and non-pregnant DA/Han rats [PDF]
Potentially adverse human and environmental effects due to hormone mimicry of environmental estrogens are a matter of current concern. Environmental estrogens belong to the socalled endocrine active compounds (EAC) and may alter signalling processes of ...

Phylogeny, ethnomedicinal use and the distribution of phytoestrogens in the Fabaceae
Frontiers in PharmacologyIntroductionPhytoestrogens, with estrogenic activity, are commonly found across the Fabaceae family. Here we develop methods that use phylogeny and ethnomedicinal information in order to identify candidate species for novel phytoestrogens.MethodWe ...
