The relationship between flavonoids and estrogen

What is the relationship between flavonoids and estrogen?

Flavonoids are actually closely related to human estrogen. Flavonoids have many effects on the human body. They can not only treat cardiovascular diseases, but also

To prevent the occurrence of cancer to a certain extent, the female ovaries secrete a kind of estrogen. If the estrogen in the female body is abnormal, it will cause problems for the female's health, such as irregular menstruation, and in severe cases it may affect fertility.

Are flavonoids estrogens?

Flavonoids are a natural progestin secreted by the corpus luteum of the ovary. They have a significant morphological effect on the estrogen-stimulated endometrium in the body and are necessary for maintaining pregnancy. Flavonoids are clinically used in the reactive diagnosis of amenorrhea or causes of amenorrhea, such as threatened abortion and habitual abortion.

What are the effects of flavonoids

1. Anti-aging

Flavonoids are a very strong antioxidant that can effectively remove oxygen free radicals in the body. Anthocyanins and anthocyanins can inhibit the full-stage overflow of oily peroxides. This ability to prevent oxidation is more than ten times that of vitamin E. This antioxidant effect can prevent cell degeneration and aging, and can also prevent the occurrence of cancer.

2. Improves Blood Circulation

Flavonoids can improve blood circulation and lower cholesterol. The flavonoids in the sky fruit also contain a PAF anticoagulant factor. These effects greatly reduce the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and can also improve the symptoms of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Flavonoid compounds called anthocyanins have been shown in animal experiments to reduce blood sugar by 26% and tribasic fatty acid propyl esters by 39%. This effect of lowering blood sugar is amazing, but more importantly, it has a role in stabilizing collagen, so it has a good effect on diabetic retinopathy and capillary fragility.

3. Treatment

Flavonoids can inhibit the exudation of inflammatory enzymes, promote wound healing and relieve pain. Due to their strong anti-histamine properties, they can be used for various allergies.

Physiologically, the main effects of progesterone are:

1. It relaxes the uterine muscles, reduces their mobility, and reduces their ability to respond to external stimuli, thus reducing the sensitivity of the pregnant uterus to oxytocin. This change is very beneficial for the growth and development of the fertilized egg in the uterine cavity without causing any problems.

2. Progesterone transforms the proliferative endometrium into the secretory endometrium, preparing for the implantation of the fertilized egg.

3. Progesterone closes the cervix, reduces mucus, makes it thicker, and reduces stringiness;

4. Inhibit the amplitude of rhythmic contraction of fallopian tube muscles;

5. Progesterone accelerates the shedding of vaginal epithelial cells;

6. Promote the development of mammary gland alveoli based on the influence of estrogen;

7. Affect the secretion of pituitary gonadotropin through negative feedback on the hypothalamus;

8. Progesterone can also play a role in raising temperature through the central nervous system. The basal body temperature of normal women can rise by 0.3℃-0.5℃ after ovulation. This change in basal body temperature can be used as an important indicator of ovulation, that is, the basal body temperature is low before ovulation, and the basal body temperature rises after ovulation due to the effect of progesterone;

9. Progesterone can promote the excretion of water and sodium in metabolism
