Evaluation of the estrogenic effects of legume extracts containing phytoestrogens.
Seven legume extracts containing phytoestrogens were analyzed for estrogenic activity. Methanol extracts were prepared from soybean (Glycine max L.), green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), alfalfa sprout (Medicago sativa L.), mung bean sprout (Vigna radiata L.), kudzu root (Pueraria lobata L.), and red clover blossom and red clover sprout (Trifolium pratense L.). Extracts of kudzu root and red clo...
متن کاملCoexposure to phytoestrogens and bisphenol a mimics estrogenic effects in an additive manner.
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDC) are abundant in our environment. A number of EDCs, including bisphenol A (BPA) can bind to the estrogen receptors (ER), ERα and ERβ, and may contribute to estrogen-linked diseases such as breast cancer. Early exposure is of particular concern; many EDCs cross the placenta and infants have measurable levels of, eg, BPA. In addition, infants are frequently fed...
متن کاملComprehensive Assessment of Hormones, Phytoestrogens, and Estrogenic Activity in an Anaerobic Swine Waste Lagoon
In this study, the distribution of steroid hormones, phytoestrogens, and estrogenic activity was thoroughly characterized within the anaerobic waste lagoon of a typical commercial swine sow operation. Three independent rounds of sampling were conducted in June 2009, April 2010, and February 2011. Thirty-seven analytes in lagoon slurry and sludge were assessed using LC/MS-MS, and yeast estrogen ...
متن کاملEstrogenic actions in the brain: estrogen, phytoestrogens, and rapid intracellular signaling mechanisms.
The endogenous gonadal steroid 17beta-estradiol (E2) plays an important role in the development, maturation, and function of a wide variety of reproductive and nonreproductive tissues, including those of the nervous system. The actions of E2 at target tissues can be divided into 1) long-term "genomic" actions that are mediated by intracellular estrogen receptor-induced changes in gene expressio...
متن کاملEstrogenic activity assessment of environmental chemicals using in vitro assays: identification of two new estrogenic compounds.
Environmental chemicals with estrogenic activities have been suggested to be associated with deleterious effects in animals and humans. To characterize estrogenic chemicals and their mechanisms of action, we established in vitro and cell culture assays that detect human estrogen receptor [alpha] (hER[alpha])-mediated estrogenicity. First, we assayed chemicals to determine their ability to modul...
