ER-estrogen receptors are activated by the binding process too, I've spared you of the much more complicated explanation.
A ligand is an ion or molecule that binds to a central metal atom. (Binds to receptors)
I wasn't sure what ligand was, except it had something to do with a receptor. I just know there are a few words very similar to it. Lotus answered that question. We both answered what AR was. Receptors are proteins on cells that can be activated.

It's puerarin. It's the active chemical in Kudzu (Pueraria Montana) and Pueraria Mirifica. Both plants are of the same genus and in the bean family. There might have been more active chemicals, that I've seen listed, but Puerarin is the most known one. Pueraria also contains many of the same phytohormones that beans have, but many aren't especially active for NBE.
