Genistein induces maturation of cultured human breast cancer cells and prevents tumor growth in nude mice
(1998)Results of recent studies in animal models of mammary carcinogenesis showed that the soybean isoflavone genistein is a chemopreventive agent. The objective of the present study was to determine whether soybean isoflavones ...

Insulin-mimetic action of vanadium compounds on osteoblast-like cells in culture
(1997)Vanadium compounds mimic insulin actions in different cell types. The present study concerns the insulin-like effects of three vanadium(V) derivatives and one vanadium(IV) complex on osteoblast-like (UMR106 and MC3T3E1) ...

Stable transfection of an estrogen receptor beta cDNA isoform into MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells
(2003)We previously reported stable transfection of estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) into the ER-negative MDA-MB-231 cells (S30) as a tool to examine the mechanism of action of estrogen and antiestrogens [J. Natl. Cancer Inst. 84 ...

Trifolium pratense (red clover) exhibits estrogenic effects in vivo in ovariectomized sprague-dawley rats
(2002)Studies were conducted using an ovariectomized rat model to determine the estrogenic and antiestrogenic activity of Trifolium pratense L. (red clover) extracts. A red clover extract, standardized to contain 15% isoflavones ...
