Abbreviations: ASG, acylated steryl glucosides; EST, estrogen; GBR, germinated brown rice; GABA, γ-amino butyric acid; ORZ, γ-oryzanol; OVX, ovariectomized; REM, Remifemin.
Notes: Levels not connected by the same letters are significantly different (P<0.05); group treated with EST 0.2 mg/kg showed an upregulation of ER-β gene when compared to other treatment groups (P<0.001); group treated with GBR 200 mg/kg also showed an upregulation of ER-β gene compared to other groups (P<0.05).

Notes: Levels with different letters are significantly different (P<0.05); group treated with EST 0.2 mg/kg showed higher expression of the HSP70 gene compared to other groups (P<0.05); groups treated with GBR and GABA 100 mg/kg also showed higher expression of the HSP70 gene compared to other groups (P<0.05).

Notes: Levels with different letters are significantly different (P<0.05); group treated with EST 0.2 mg/kg showed higher expression of the IL-4 receptor gene compared to all other groups (P<0.05); group treated with ASG100 mg/kg also induces a high upregulation when compared to other treated groups (P<0.05); group treated with GBR 200 mg/kg induces an upregulation of the IL-4 receptor gene similar to the expression exhibits by sham non-treated group.
Abbreviations: ASG, acylated steryl glucosides; EST, estrogen; GBR, germinated brown rice; GABA, γ-amino butyric acid; IL, interleukin; mRNA, messenger ribonucleic acid; ORZ, γ-oryzanol; OVX, ovariectomized; REM, Remifemin.

Notes: Red arrows show areas of immunohistochemical staining. The sham (non-OVX group) showed light reactivity on the glandular epithelium, while the group treated with GBR phenolics showed an ER-β reactivity at the glandular and some part of the stroma and the group treated with EST showed an immunoreactivity both at the glandular, luminal, and deep in the stromal cells. Other treated groups showed mild reactivity mostly in the stroma.
