Abstract
⺠Genistein, an isoflavone found in soy products, mimics the actions of estrogens. ⺠The fetal testis is responsive to estrogens. ⺠Genistein inhibits testosterone secretion during early fetal development. ⺠This effect occurs through an ERα-dependent mechanism. ⺠It starts at 10 nM genistein, a concentration compatible with human consumption.
