Abstract: |
Phytoestrogens are non-steroid polyphenolic materials present in 300 plants. Regarding their
structural similarities to estradiol, phytoestrogens attach to estrogen receptors and display anti-
or pro-estrogenic activities. This review explored phytoestrogens’ potential advantages and autophagy
properties in light of their future application for disease management, highlighting how
phytoestrogens could modulate autophagy. Research has examined the prospective benefits of
phytoestrogens for the anticipation and management of various conditions, including signs of
menopause, tumors, skin deterioration, osteoporosis, heart disease, neurodegenerative conditions,
disorders of the immune system, and metabolic syndrome, owing to their therapeutic
effects. As phytoestrogens can activate or inhibit autophagy, which has antioxidant, apoptotic,
anti-mutagenic, anticancer, transcriptional, and genomic impacts on cancer and aging illnesses,
phytoestrogens could influence diseases through the modulation of autophagy. The collaborative
research on animal models, utilization of genetic techniques, and administration of pharmacologically active substances has indicated the possible therapeutic benefits of autophagy modulation
in various illnesses. Further research is required to illustrate the pathways by which phytoestrogens modulate autophagy and the possible therapeutic effects on these diseases.
