Conclusions: Six months of treatment with isoflavones had a favorable effect on serum nitrites/nitrates, homocysteine and lipid levels in Turkish women in the early postmenopausal period. Although there is not enough evidence yet from large randomized clinical trials to make a recommendation about the use of phytoestrogens for prevention of cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal years, our re...

the aim of this research was to perform a systematic review of the efficacy of non-hormonal herbal drugs in the treatment of vaginal atrophy in postmenopausal women. three electronic databases were systematically searched from their inception to may2015: pubmed, cochrane library (cochrane central register of controlled trials) and scopus. in this meta-analysis, vaginal maturation value was cons...

One of the most important environmental factors to promote epigenetic alterations in an individual is nutrition and exposure to plant compounds. Phytoestrogens and other phytochemicals have dramatic effects on cellular signaling events, so have the capacity to dramatically alter developmental and physiological events. Epigenetics provides one of the more critical molecular mechanisms for enviro...

Twenty-one nonvitamin, nonmineral dietary supplements commonly consumed by women in Canada were analyzed for isoflavones (formononetin, daidzein, genistein, glycitein), lignans (pinoresinol, lariciresinol, secoisolariciresinol, matairesinol), and coumestrol to complement our previously published food phytoestrogen database. Supplements containing soy or red clover had the highest concentrations...

Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring phytochemicals found in plants and plant products. These is structurally and functionally similar to 17b oestradiol or synthetic oestrogens. (Burton and Wells, 2002) Even a low dose phytoestrogen diet can induce developmental and maturational abnormalities in both laboratory animals and domestic livestock and can affect human health too. (Fredrick et al., ...

Soy phytoestrogens are dietary components with considerable effects on reducing the incidence of prostate cancer. Furthermore, the epigenetic regulation of gene expression can be modified by soy phytoestrogens [1]. Qualitative and quantitative studies show a dec...
