Description

Lignans are being studied for possible use in cancer prevention, particularly breast cancer. Like other phytoestrogens (such as soy isoflavones), they hook onto the same spots on cells where estrogen attaches. If there is little estrogen in the body (after menopause, for example), lignans may act like weak estrogen; but when natural estrogen is abundant in the body, lignans may instead reduce estrogen's effects by displacing it from cells.
A number of preliminary human and animal studies suggest that lignans may be helpful for cancer prevention, particularly of breast and colon cancer, as well reduction of cholesterol. In addition, highly preliminary research suggests that flaxseeds or lignans may help normalize cholesterol and thereby help prevent atherosclerosis, decrease menopausal symptoms and improve kidney function in various certain types of kidney disease(specifically, lupus nephritis and polycystic kidney disease).
