ER-alpha is present in breast tissue, instead of ER-beta. The three chemicals can be looked up too at that website, but a good one was behind a paywall, and its abstract said very little about the results.

Hmm, same author?, this one is from August 06, the first study is from January 04.
There's a few more but this one is a big deal.
The inhibitory effects of the standardized extracts of Ginkgo biloba on Aromatase activity in JEG-3 human choriocarcinoma cells.

lovely11,
I see that you're a new member so welcome, are you pursuing NBE?.
Oh btw, quercetin while being a phytoestrogens (flavonoids) it's also an Aromatase inhibitor, the same goes for Genistein.
