Title: Effects of various phytoestrogens and of Cimicifuga racemosa (CR) in the mammary gland of ovariectomized (ovx) rats
Abstract:Soy and red clover extracts or thereof purified isoflavones (genistein, daidzein and its metabolite equol) are known to be estrogenic in the uterus but their effects in the mammary gland are unknown. ...Soy and red clover extracts or thereof purified isoflavones (genistein, daidzein and its metabolite equol) are known to be estrogenic in the uterus but their effects in the mammary gland are unknown. The CR extract BNO 1055 (CR) has no estrogenic effect. An action in the mammary gland was not yet studied. Therefore, we treated ovx rats orally with genistein (15.5mg/day), daidzein (15.8mg/day) and equol (15.8mg/day) and with CR (30.0mg/day) for a period of 3 months. Control ovx animals received soy free or estradiol 17ß (E2) containing food (0.25mg/day).Read More
