Phytoestrogens: recent developments
Phytoestrogens are polyphenolic non-steroidal plant compounds with estrogen like activity exerted through estrogen receptors. These receptors are distributed in several tissues such as male and female reproductive systems, bones, cardiovascular and central nervous systems. These natural phenolic compounds include isoflavonoids, flavonoids, lignans and stilbenes. Isoflavonoids are the most studi...

متن کاملAntineutrophil cytoplasm autoantibodies: usefulness in rheumatology.
The primary vasculitidies are complex diseases with varied clinical manifestations, which may be common to those present in multiple diseases. The antineutrophil cytoplasm autoantibodies (ANCA) led to a revolution in the diagnosis and research of these diseases, being the first and so far, the only biomarkers for three of these diseases, which affect small caliber vessels. From their descriptio...
متن کاملNeutrophil-activating potential of antineutrophil cytoplasm autoantibodies.
Accumulating in vivo and in vitro evidence supports the hypothesis that antineutrophil cytoplasm autoantibodies (ANCA) with specificity for proteinase 3 (PR3) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) are involved in the pathophysiology of small-vessel vasculitis. The best-described effector function of these autoantibodies is stimulation of neutrophils to produce reactive oxygen species and to release proteol...
