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 as Safe Functional Ingredients

Journal of Medicinal Food, 2007
In recent years, isoflavones have increased in popularity as an alternative to estrogen therapy, particularly after the Women's Health Initiative demonstrated an increased risk of breast cancer, stroke, and heart attacks in response to estrogen and progesterone intervention.

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 ...

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 ...

Isoflavones in children and adults consuming soy

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2008
Soy and their isoflavones (IFLs) are believed to protect against breast cancer, particularly when exposure occurs during childhood. Little is known about the bioavailability of IFLs in children and how this is affected by oral antibiotics (OABX). We measured IFLs by LC/MS and found that the urinary IFL excretion rate (UIER) reflects circulating IFLs ...
