Lignans are plant polyphenols which may possess anticancer, antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory activities. In particular, the lignan 7-hydroxymatairesinol (HMR/lignan, HMR) is a novel precursor of the mammalian lignan enterolactone (EL). In the present study, we investigated the estrogenicity of
Both epidemiological and experimental evidence is accumulating to show that a lignan-rich diet may reduce the risk of human breast cancer. Possible anti-cancer effects of dietary lignans on hepatomas or hepatoma cells have not been the topic of earlier studies.
