[Effects of phytoestrogens on prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia]

[Effects of phytoestrogens on prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia]: Zhonghua Nan Ke Xue. 2007 May;13(5):457-61 Authors: Feng Y, Xia XY, Huang YF

Phytoestrogens are non-steroidal estrogens widely distributed in many kinds of plants. They are natural compounds structurally similar to estrogen and with estrogenic or anti-androgenic activities. Prostate cancer (PCa) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are androgen-dependent and associated with age. Recently, in many epidemiological and experimental researches, it has been reported that phytoestrogens play a role in the prevention and treatment of PCa and BPH. Regulation of sexual hormones, inhibition of cell proliferation, induction of cell apoptosis and anti-oxidation of such plant estrogens may be involved in the mechanisms.
