Characterisation of oestrogenic activity of ginsenosides in MCF-7 cells using a customised DNA microarray
Sijun Dong,Ryoiti Kiyama +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, oestrogenic activity of components of ginseng: ginsenosides F 1, Rb1, Rg1 and Rh1 were studied, and it was shown that these components dose-dependently stimulated the proliferation and oestrogens-responsive luciferase activity of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells, with a maximal level at 100μM.

Tanshinone IIA promotes non‑amyloidogenic processing of amyloid precursor protein in platelets via estrogen receptor signaling to phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt
TL;DR: Using human platelets, this study demonstrated that Tan IIA promoted the non-amyloidogenic cleavage of APP via estrogenic activity and the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/Akt pathway may be involved in this effect ofTan IIA on platelet APP metabolism as a downstream effector of estrogen receptor signaling.
