Solano F, Hernandez E, Juarez-Rojas L, Rojas-Maya S, Lopez G, Romero C, et al.
Reprod Biol . 2022 Aug; 22(3):100683. PMID: 35932513
Phytoestrogens are considered to be endocrine disruptors, since they can alter the endocrine system, thus disturbing many reproductive events. The intake of diets containing a high content of phytoestrogens has...
