The rat, mouse and human estrogen receptor (ER) exists as two subtypes, ER alpha and ER beta, which differ in the C-terminal ligand-binding domain and in the N-terminal transactivation domain. In this study, we investigated the estrogenic activity of environmental chemicals and phytoestrogens in com

## Abstract Plant‐derived phytoestrogens and estrogens in hormone replacement therapies have overlapping yet sometimes divergent effects on the incidence of breast cancer and osteoporosis. Using human MCF‐7 breast carcinoma and G‐292 osteosarcoma cell lines, it was investigated whether the phytoest
Genistein, a soybean isoflavone, has estrogen-like activity in mammals, including the prevention of bone loss. However, whether its mechanism of action on bone turnover is distinct from that of estrogen or raloxifene is unknown. Although genistein has been reported to bind both estrogen receptor (ER
