Equol Alleviates Postmenopausal Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease via the GPR30/PI3K Pathway

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
This study demonstrates that equol exerts a protective effect on metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease in both in vivo and in vitro by activating the GPR30/PI3K/Nrf2 signaling pathway. Equol's interaction with GPR30 and its ability to activate the PI3K/Nrf2 pathway provide a promising therapeutic strategy for treating metabolic ...

NMR Study on the Inclusion Complexes of β-Cyclodextrin with Isoflavones

Molecules, 2016
The structure of the inclusion complexes of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) with daidzein and daidzin in D2O were investigated using NMR spectroscopy. For the β-CD and daidzein system, two types of 1:1 complexes were formed with the daidzein deeply inserted into ...

Virgin Coconut Oil Attenuates Diabetic Kidney Disease via Gut Microbiota‐Metabolism‐Inflammation Axis Modulation in Type 2 Diabetic Mice

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
This study elucidates the multi‐targeted mechanisms of Virgin Coconut Oil (CO) as a dietary intervention for ameliorating Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD). High‐purity medium‐chain fatty acids (MCFAs, primarily octanoic acid [C8:0] and decanoic acid [C10:0]) in CO significantly remodel the gut microbiota by enriching short‐chain fatty acid (SCFA ...

Identification and Functional Characterization of Isoflavone synthase Gene Family in Pea (Pisum sativum): The Entry Point to Pisatin Biosynthesis

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Isoflavone synthase (IFS), a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase of the CYP93C subfamily, catalyzes the conversion of flavanones into isoflavones, the first committed step in the biosynthesis of isoflavonoid phytoalexins. In pea (Pisum sativum L.), the phytoalexin pisatin plays a pivotal role in defense against pathogens.
