Abstract;Objective: We studied on the soybean isoflavone treatment for climacteric syndrome. Design: A clinical study. Materials and Methods: 30 patients were studied. They were typical patients of climacteric syndrome. A measurement of the levels of E2, .BETA.-Ep, FSH, PRL and LH was done before and after the administration of soybean isoflavones. Results: The results after the use of the herbal show significant improvements with a rise in E2 and .BETA.-Ep, and a drop in FSH, PRL and LH levels. Conclusions: These improvements appear to show that soybean isoflavone has an estrogen-like effect. (author abst.)
