title: [The research of estrogen receptor modulator and correlative Chinese herbs].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To review the study of estrogen receptor modulator and correlative Chinese herbs.
  
  
  METHODS
  Based on to the documents in the world, the estrogen receptor modulator and correlative Chinese herbs summarized.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Estrogen receptor modulator is biological compounds in botany. It can exert faint estrogen-like effects by low affinity with estrogen receptor. Some of the Chinese herbs have the estrogen-like activity, but further and more systemic research work are to be done.
