We are what we eat: Plants and their effects on the brain

University of Reading

Department of Biomedical Sciences

Project Overview. Plants synthesize many compounds that can act like hormones in mammals. A class of plant compounds called phytosteroids act like steroid hormones and may influence anxiety, reproduction and healthy aging, though the mechanisms by which these signal are poorly understood.
