Food phytestrogens and prevention of postmenopausal osteoporotic and cardiovascular disease. Phytestrogens are diphenolic compounds, widely found in plants and foods, with structural and biological estrogen-like similarities. Their anti-estrogenic effects are well known and studied due to the possibility to prevent some tumors such as breast and prostate cancer. In menopause they have an estrogenic-like action on lipidic and bone metabolism. Phytestrogens rich foods can positively affect the postmenopausal osteoporotic and cardiovascular pathology.
食物中的植物雌激素与绝经后骨质疏松症和心血管疾病的预防。植物雌激素是双酚类化合物，广泛存在于植物和食物中，在结构和生物学上具有类似雌激素的特性。由于其有可能预防某些肿瘤，如乳腺癌和前列腺癌，其抗雌激素作用已为人所知并得到研究。在绝经后，它们对脂质和骨代谢具有类似雌激素的作用。富含植物雌激素的食物可对绝经后骨质疏松症和心血管疾病产生积极影响。
