Estrogen Receptor Binding of Xenoestrogens and Phytoestrogens in Japanese Quail (Coturnix japonica)

Estrogen Receptor Binding of Xenoestrogens and Phytoestrogens in Japanese Quail (Coturnix japonica)

Estrogenic compounds must bind to estrogen receptors (ER) and modulate estrogen-sensitive gene expression. However, various in vivo and in vitro assays have established that xenoestrogens and phytoestrogens are rather weak estrogens, with a 5,000- to 10,000-fold lower binding affinity to ER than es...
