Abstract excerpt
Consumption of the phytoestrogen lignans, structurally similar to estrogen, has been associated with alterations in gene expression and estrogen metabolism. Furthermore, lignan consumption, subsequent changes in metabolizing enzyme expression, and genetic variability in these enzymes may alter estrogen metabolism and modify disease risk. Therefore, we investigated the effect of flaxseed on hydroxyestrone...
