This review will discuss the concept of reproductive aging, which includes the definition of menopause, its symptoms, and predisposing conditions. It will elaborate upon the contributory factors implicated in the pathogenesis of menopause, focusing most prominently on oxidative stress....

Effects and mechanisms of 8-prenylnaringenin on osteoblast MC3T3-E1 and osteoclast-like cells RAW264.7.

Food science & nutrition

Luo D, Kang L, Ma Y, Chen H, Kuang H, Huang Q, He M, Peng W.
PMID: 25473491
Food Sci Nutr. 2014 Jul;2(4):341-50. doi: 10.1002/fsn3.109. Epub 2014 Apr 06.

8-Prenylnaringenin (8-PN) is a phytoestrogen with the highest estrogenic activity. The objective of the present study was to confirm the superiority of 8-PN on bone metabolisms and the estrogen receptor (ER) subtype mediating effects of 8-PN. The osteoblast MC3T3-E1...

The safety and tolerance of phytotherapies in menopausal medicine - a review of the literature.

Przeglad menopauzalny = Menopause review

Czuczwar P, Paszkowski T, Lisiecki M, Woźniak S, Stępniak A.
PMID: 28546801
Prz Menopauzalny. 2017 Mar;16(1):8-11. doi: 10.5114/pm.2017.67365. Epub 2017 Apr 26.

Phytoestrogens are polyphenol, non-steroidal substances of plant origin, resembling 17β-estradiol in structure. These substances can act as either agonists or antagonists of oestrogen receptors α and β. Phytoestrogens are widely used to alleviate menopausal symptoms, such as hot flushes...

Analytical methods used to quantify isoflavones in cow's milk: a review.

Dairy science & technology

Daems F, Romnee JM, Heuskin S, Froidmont É, Lognay G.
PMID: 27195076
Dairy Sci Technol. 2016;96:261-283. doi: 10.1007/s13594-015-0276-8. Epub 2016 Jan 13.

This paper provides an update and comprehensive review of the analytical methods used for quantifying isoflavones and their metabolites in cow's milk. Isoflavones are secondary plant metabolites that are similar to 17 β-estradiol in chemical structure. They form one...

Cutaneous melanoma is an aggressive tumor; its incidence has been reported to increase fast in the past decades. Melanoma is a heterogeneous tumor, with most patients harboring mutations in the BRAF or NRAS oncogenes, leading to the overactivation of...

Review article: health benefits of some physiologically active ingredients and their suitability as yoghurt fortifiers.

Journal of food science and technology

Fayed AE.
PMID: 25892751
J Food Sci Technol. 2015 May;52(5):2512-21. doi: 10.1007/s13197-014-1393-8. Epub 2014 May 07.

The article is concerned with health benefits of two main physiologically active ingredients namely, Isoflavones and γ-Aminobutyric acid, with emphasis on their fitness for fortification of yoghurt to be consumed as a functional food. Isoflavones (ISO) are part of...

Functional components and medicinal properties of food: a review.

Journal of food science and technology

Abuajah CI, Ogbonna AC, Osuji CM.
PMID: 25892752

Research has proved a relationship between functional components of food, health and well-being. Thus, functional components of food can be effectively applied in the treatment and prevention of diseases. They act simultaneously at different or identical target sites with...

Plant derived alternatives for hormone replacement therapy (HRT).

Hormone molecular biology and clinical investigation

Seidlova-Wuttke D, Jarry H, Wuttke W.
PMID: 25436745
Horm Mol Biol Clin Investig. 2013 Dec;16(1):35-45. doi: 10.1515/hmbci-2013-0024.

Abstract Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has undisputable positive effects on climacteric complaints, in the bone and on body weight but also several undesired side effects. Therefore, plant-derived alternatives are currently promoted. Phytoestrogens - primarily the isoflavones genistein, daidzein and...

INTRODUCTION: Lower level of estrogen hormone is considered as an important factor for loss of learning and memory in postmenopausal women. Although estrogen replacement therapy is used for compensation, but long-term usage of estrogen is associated with a higher...

Adult emotionality and neural plasticity as a function of adolescent nutrient supplementation in male rats.

Pharmacology, biochemistry, and behavior

McCall N, Mahadevia D, Corriveau JA, Glenn MJ.
