As ERα is the key driver of estrogen-dependent breast cancer, if nutraceuticals have a higher affinity for ERβ they may offer a protective effect, particularly if they synergize and augment...

In terms of stimulation by 17b-estradiol, the BT483 cell line was the most responsive in this study. The stimulation rates of T47D and MCF7 cells by 17b-estradiol were modest at 34% and 17%, respectively.
