The soy isoflavone daidzein improves the capacity of tamoxifen to prevent mammary tumours
(2005)The aim of this study was to determine how the efficacy of tamoxifen is affected when combined with soy isoflavones. To address this, female Sprague-Dawley rats were placed on diets supplemented with tamoxifen, genistein, ...
