According to the study of "Genistein Selectively Inhibits Estrogen-Induced Cell Proliferation and Other Responses to Hormone Stimulation in the Prepubertal Rat Uterus" by Gaete L, Tchernitchin AN, Bustamante R, Villena J, Lemus I, Gidekel M, Cabrera G, Carrillo O., posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researchers indicated that Pretreatment with this phytoestrogen completely inhibited estradiol-induced mitoses in uterine luminal epithelium, endometrial stroma, and myometrium and partially inhibited estradiol-induced uterine eosinophilia and endometrial edema. These findings indicate that genistein protects against estrogen-induced cell proliferation in the uterus and suggest that future studies should investigate the possibility of using this agent to decrease the risk for uterine cancer after hormone replacement therapy in climacteric
