Soy Isoflavones and Health

2005
Soybeans are consumed in many Asian countries such as Japan and are a major source of isoflavones (IFs), one group of phytoestrogens. This chapter reviews research on soy-based foods and the biological activities and health benefits of their constitutive IFs.

Soy isoflavones in the management of postmenopausal osteoporosis

Menopause, 2008
This is a review article designed to address the effects of soy isoflavones on bone metabolism in postmenopausal women and their place in the prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Soy isoflavones are natural products that could be used as an alternative to menopausal hormone therapy because they are structurally and functionally ...

Soy formula and isoflavones and the developing intestine

Nutrition Reviews, 2009
Soy protein-based infant formulas (SF) are commonly used to feed infants during their first year of life. SF contains isoflavones, which influence cell proliferation, but their actions in the developing intestine have received little attention. Herein, the impact of soy isoflavones and SF on intestinal development and rotavirus (RV) infectivity is ...

Microwave assisted extraction of soy isoflavones

Analytica Chimica Acta, 2007
A fast and reliable analytical method using microwave assisted extraction has been developed. Several extraction solvents (methanol (MeOH) and ethanol (EtOH), 30-70% in water and water), temperatures (50-150 degrees C), extraction solvent volume, as well as the sample size (1.0-0.1g) and extraction time (5-30 min) were studied for the optimization of ...

Soy Isoflavones in the Treatment of Prostate Cancer

Nutrition and Cancer, 2003
Epidemiological studies suggest an inverse association between soy intake and prostate cancer (Pca) risk. We have previously observed that soy isoflavone genistein induces apoptosis and inhibits growth of both androgen-sensitive and androgen-independent Pca cells in vitro. To determine the clinical effects of soy isoflavones on Pca we conducted a pilot

Solid-phase extraction of soy isoflavones

Journal of Chromatography A, 2005
An automated method using solid-phase extraction (SPE) for the concentration and clean-up of soy isoflavone extracts is proposed in this work. Using a standardized sample (0.1 g of a freeze dried soybean extract/25 mL of water); eight SPE cartridges with a wide range of sorbents (C18, divinylbenzene and modified divinylbenzene) from different suppliers

Radiosensitization of Prostate Cancer by Soy Isoflavones

Current Cancer Drug Targets, 2007
A trend in investigating the use of several nutritional compounds for cancer chemoprevention has revealed that phytochemicals demonstrated anti-cancer properties by inhibiting signal transduction pathways essential for cancer cell proliferation, tumor growth, invasion and metastasis.

Ultrasound-assisted extraction of soy isoflavones

Journal of Chromatography A, 2003
Efficiency in extracting four isoflavone derivatives (daidzin, glycitin, genistin and malonyl genistin) from freeze-dried ground soybeans was compared for mix-stirring extraction and ultrasound-assisted extraction, using different solvents and extraction temperatures with both.

Soy isoflavones – a therapy for menopausal symptoms?

Wiener Medizinische Wochenschrift, 2004
Chemically, isoflavones belong to the group of polyphenols. The most important food source is soy, which contains mainly genistein and daidzein in the form of glycosides. The absorption rate ranges from 20-55%. Isoflavones are selectively incorporated in certain tissues like the breast and ovaries. They are able to bind to the estrogen receptors alpha (

Antibacterial activity of the soy isoflavone genistein

Journal of Basic Microbiology, 2006
AbstractGenistein, a radioprotective soy isoflavone and protein kinase inhibitor, blocks the invasion of pathogenic bacteria in mammalian epithelial cells. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the direct effect of genistein on the survival and growth of the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri and selected opportunistic bacteria in vitro as a prelude ...
