Lignans are a group of estrogeniccompounds present in plants.

Interestingly, E2 and estrogeniccompounds showed distinct effects on the contractile activity of uterine cells.

These results suggest that this sensor is applicable as a large-scale screening tool for estrogeniccompounds.
4
No concomitant changes in blood pressure were recorded during the cerebral effects of the estrogeniccompounds.
5
Therefore, these microcirculatory effects were due to direct actions of the estrogeniccompounds on the cerebrovascular bed.
6
These results indicate that CaBP-9k protein can be a useful biomarker for detection of the estrogenicity of putative estrogeniccompounds.
7
In the present studies, we further collaborated this idea by investigating the regulation and localization of CaBP-9k protein in response to estrogeniccompounds.

Among the possible estrogeniccompounds in hops, 8-prenylnaringenin is perhaps most significant due to its high in vitro potency exceeding that of other known phytoestrogens.

Regardless, it remains unclear why not all estrogeniccompounds behave equally, nor why estrogens appear to be protective in certain settings but detrimental in others.
