the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of 8 weeks of selective exercise activity and estrogen supplement on satellite cells in ovariectomized sprague-dawley rats. at first, subjects were ovariectomized and after one month of complete recovery, they were randomly divided into four groups: control, exercise activity, estrogen supplement, and exercise and estrogen supplement. only exe...

Epidemiological evidence suggests that isoflavone phytoestrogens may reduce the risk of cancer, osteoporosis, and heart disease, effects at least partially mediated by estrogen receptors alpha and beta (ERalpha and ERbeta). Because isoflavone dietary supplements are becoming increasingly popular and are frequently advertised as natural alternatives to estrogen replacement therapy, we have exami...

METHODS In a crossover design, 33 women followed a low-fat, vegetarian diet for two menstrual cycles. For two additional cycles, they followed their customary diet while taking a supplement plac...
