Inhibitory effect of 17β-estradiol (E), genistein (G) and daidzein (D) on post-injury neointima development in concentrations of 20/30/40 μM, compared to endothelium balloon denuded (BD) controls (C) (mean ± SD). The medium of all groups contained 1 % isopropanol (1 % iso) and 1 % DMSO. Compared with controls 17β-estradiol, genistein, and daidzein (*) reduced neointima formation significantly (p = 0.05) in a concentration dependent manner. Data from Finking et al., 2000 [25].
