摘要

Phytoestrogens (PE) are the phytochemicals quite similar in structure and function to gonadal estrogen hormone. They are potential alternatives to the synthetic selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), which are currently applied in hormone replacement therapy. On the basis of chemical structure PE can be classified as flavonoids, isoflavonoids, coumestans, stilbenes, lignans and terpenoids. Isoflavones have the capacity to act like an estrogen and provide health benefits. Soybean is rich in isoflavones like genistein, daidzein and their methyl ether derivatives, biochanin A and formononetin. Consumption of these in high quantities is associated with reduced risk of osteoporosis and related health problems. The main dietary source of phytoestrogenic stilbenes is frans-resveratrol from red wine and peanuts. Coumestrol and 4'-methoxy-coumestrol are two potent members of coumestans mainly found in sprouted legumes. Secoisolariciresinol and matairesinol are two lignan dimers, which are not estrogenic by themselves, but readily convert to the mammalian lignans, enterodiol and enterolactone, respectively and have estrogenic, antiviral, antifungal and antioxidant activities. Terpenoids (ferutinine, tschimgine, and tschimganidine) found in the Umbelliferae family have estrogenic activities. Ferutinine and tschimganidine are sesquiterpenoids and tschimgine is a monoterpenoid. In females, life is affected by a variety of estrogen-related conditions such as osteoporosis, cognitive and cardiovasculardecline, increased risk of breast cancer and other symptoms that decrease the overall quality of life. Phytoestrogens are effective in maintaining bone mineral density (BMD), prevent bone loss, and help in the prevention and/ or treatment of such healthrelated problems. Diet rich in plant-derived products may supply a variety of phytoestrogens capable of producing a range of pharmacological effects and protection from various diseases. Postmenopausal women who have the greatest risk of breast cancer should be encouraged to increase phytoestrogens intake.
