PHYTOESTROGEN

PHYTOESTROGENSNATURALLY OCCURING PLANT COMPOUNDS THAT HAVE 2-PHENYLNAPHTALENE TYPE CHEMICAL STRUCTURES SIMILAR TO THOSE OF ESTROGEN

PHYTOESTROGENSTHEY ARE DIVIDED INTO THREE MAIN CLASSES :

ISOFLAVONE LIGNANS COUMESTAN

ESTROGEN

PHYTOESTROGENSTHEY BIND TO ESTROGEN RECEPTORS AND ACT AS SELECTIVE ESTROGEN RECEPTOR MODULATORS (SERM)

PHYTOESTROGENSON SOME TISSUES, PHYTOESTROGEN EXERT ESTROGEN-LIKE ACTIVITY, BUT ON OTHER TISSUES THEY EXERT ESTROGENIC ACTIVITY

PHYTOESTROGENSACTIVITIES PREVENT OSTEOPOROSISREDUCE CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASEANTICANCER

PHYTOESTROGENS TOPREVENT OSTEOPOROSISPHYTOESTROGENS EFFECTIVE IN PROMOTING BONE MASS AND PREVENTING BONE LOSE PHYTOESTROGENS TO EXERT ESTROGEN-LIKE ACTIVITY ON BONE

PHYTOESTROGENS TOREDUCE CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE ISOFLAVONE PHYTOESTROGEN REDUCE LIPID PEROXIDATION ISOFLAVONE (GENISTEIN, DAIDZEIN, EQUOL) WERE SHOWN AS ANTIOXIDANTTHESE FACTS MAY BE A SIGNIFICANT MECHANISM IN REDUCING THE RISK OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE

PHYTOESTROGENS TOPREVENT REPRODUCTIVE CANCER PHYTOESTROGENS ACT AS SELECTIVE ESTROGEN RECEPTOR MODULATORS (SERM), THUS, IT HAS ANTIESTROGENIC ACTIVITY IN REROCTIVE TISSUE (BREAST, OVARY, ENDOMETRIUM), BUT THEY HAVE ESTROGENIC ACTIVITY IN BONE AND CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM

PHYTOESTROGENS TOPREVENT REPRODUCTIVE CANCER MECHANISM FOR THE PREVENTION OF ESTROGEN-DEPENDENT CANCER IN PREMENOPAUSAL WOMEN IS TO BE DUE TO THE COMPETITION BETWEEN PHYTOESTROGENS AND ENDOGENOUS ESTROGEN FOR ESTROGEN RECEPTORS

PHYTOESTROGENS INCANCER TREATMENT ISOFLAVONE PHYTOESTROGENS ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE ANTICARCINOGENIC EFFECT DUE TO THEIR ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES, THEIR ABILITY IN SUPPRESSING PROTOONCOGEN.

PHYTOESTROGEN INHIBIT ENZYME INVOLVED IN THE PRODUCTION OF ESTRON FROM ANDROGENS.
