Scientists in Italy are reporting development and successful use of a fast new method to identify food additives that act as so-called "xenoestrogens" -- substances with estrogen-like effects that are ...

Two estrogen-mimicking compounds found in many foods appear to potently reverse the effects of palbociclib/letrozole, a popular drug combination for treating breast ...

Synthetic and natural chemicals that manage to fit into the flexible binding site of estrogen receptors—compounds called xenoestrogens—can potentially interfere with a spectrum of physiological ...

Xenoestrogens can mimic or antagonize the activity of physiological estrogens, and the suggested mechanism of xenoestrogen action involves binding to estrogen receptors (ERs). However, the failure of ...

The study suggests that exposure to chemical compounds called xenoestrogens may significantly reduce the effectiveness of anti-oestrogen treatments for cancer. Oestrogen-mimicking compounds found in ...

Oestrogen-mimicking compounds found in breads, soybean and a range of commonly consumed grains can reverse the effects of 'breakthrough' drug therapy used to treat breast cancer, scientists have found ...
