Abstract
Phytoestrogens constitute a promising alternative in the treatment of diseases associated with menopause. Nevertheless, the lack of data concerning their pharmacology and their toxicology requires use precautions. After reminding the pharmacology of estrogen receptors, this review outlines the estrogenicity and the therapeutic potentialities of phytoestrogens according to their structure.
