Abstract excerpt
For the simultaneous assessment of in vitro carcinogenicity and mutagenicity of phytoestrogens, the abilities of 5 phytoestrogens, daidzein, genistein, biochanin A, prunetin, and coumestrol, to induce cell transformation and genetic effects were examined using the Syrian hamster embryo (SHE) cell model. Cellular growth was inhibited by all phytoestrogens in a concentration-related manner. The growth inhibitory...
