Another proposed mechanism is the inhibition of aldo-keto reductase family 1 member C3 (AKR1C3), which modulates steroid hormone action by converting estrone to 17β-estradiol or androstenedione to testosterone [37]. Berberine does not exhibit dose-dependent effects, as a daily intake of 500 mg...
The structural similarity between soy isoflavones and estradiol suggests that isoflavones may elicit estrogenic effects. Although the affinity for the estrogen receptor by soy isoflavones is 100–1000 times less than mammalian estrogen, isoflavone concentrations can appear in plasma >1000-fold greater than...
