Daidzein and genistein glucuronides in vitro are weakly estrogenic and activate human natural killer cells at nutritionally relevant concentrations. (1/1619)

Daidzein and genistein glucuronides (DG and GG), major isoflavone metabolites, may be partly responsible for biological effects of isoflavones, such as estrogen receptor binding and natural killer cell (NK) activation or inhibition. DG and GG were synthesized using 3-methylcholanthrene-induced rat liver microsomes. The Km and Vmax for daidzein and genistein were 9.0 and 7.7 micromol/L, and 0.7 and 1.6 micromol/(mg protein. min), respectively. The absence of ultraviolet absorbance maxima shifts in the presence of sodium acetate confirmed that the synthesized products were 7-O-glucuronides. DG and GG were further purified by a Sephadex LH-20 column. DG and GG competed with the binding of 17beta-(3H) estradiol to estrogen receptors of B6D2F1 mouse uterine cytosol. The concentrations required for 50% displacement of 17beta-(3H) estradiol (CB50) were: 17beta-estradiol, 1.34 nmol/L; diethylstilbestrol, 1.46 nmol/L; daidzein, 1.6 micromol/L; DG, 14.7 micromol/L; genistein, 0.154 micromol/L; GG, 7.27 micromol/L. In human peripheral blood NK cells, genistein at <0.5 micromol/L and DG and GG at 0.1-10 micromol/L enhanced NK cell-mediated K562 cancer cell killing significantly (P < 0.05). At > 0.5 micromol/L, genistein inhibited NK cytotoxicity significantly (P < 0.05). The glucuronides only inhibited NK cytotoxicity at 50 micromol/L. Isoflavones, and especially the isoflavone glucuronides, enhanced activation of NK cells by interleukin-2 (IL-2), additively. At physiological concentrations, DG and GG were weakly estrogenic, and they activated human NK cells in nutritionally relevant concentrations in vitro, probably at a site different from IL-2 action.  (+info)

Dietary isoflavones: biological effects and relevance to human health. (2/1619)

Substantial evidence indicates that diets high in plant-based foods may explain the epidemiologic variance of many hormone-dependent diseases that are a major cause of mortality and morbidity in Western populations. There is now an increased awareness that plants contain many phytoprotectants. Lignans and isoflavones represent two of the main classes of phytoestrogens of current interest in clinical nutrition. Although ubiquitous in their occurrence in the plant kingdom, these bioactive nonnutrients are found in particularly high concentrations in flaxseeds and soybeans and have been found to have a wide range of hormonal and nonhormonal activities that serve to provide plausible mechanisms for the potential health benefits of diets rich in phytoestrogens. Data from animal and in vitro studies provide convincing evidence for the potential of phytoestrogens in influencing hormone-dependent states; although the clinical application of diets rich in these estrogen mimics is in its infancy, data from preliminary studies suggest beneficial effects of importance to health. This review focuses on the more recent studies pertinent to this field and includes, where appropriate, the landmark and historical literature that has led to the exponential increase in interest in phytoestrogens from a clinical nutrition perspective.  (+info)

Serum levels and metabolic clearance of the isoflavones genistein and daidzein in hemodialysis patients. (3/1619)

Genistein and daidzein are biologically active isoflavones that are especially abundant in soybeans. After intestinal absorption, circulating genistein and daidzein are eliminated primarily by the kidneys. This study was undertaken to assess the metabolism of genistein and daidzein in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on hemodialysis therapy, and to test whether this treatment modality can replace the lack of kidney function, with respect to the elimination of the isoflavones. Twenty-three hemodialysis patients and 10 healthy subjects were studied. While consuming a self-selected low isoflavone diet, baseline blood levels were undetectable in eight of 10 healthy subjects and in 14 of 23 dialysis patients. The remaining participants had detectable levels, with the nine dialysis patients displaying much higher blood concentrations than the two healthy control subjects. After the evening intake of one dose of an isoflavone-rich soy protein isolate drink, the early morning blood levels of genistein and daidzein were higher in seven dialysis patients than in eight healthy subjects (genistein 1271+/-321 versus 425+/-104, P<0.05; daidzein 1304+/-352 versus 292+/-78, P<0.05). The blood clearance of the isoflavones was studied in two healthy subjects and in three dialysis patients. Genistein and daidzein were eliminated within 2 d in the healthy subjects, but had not returned to baseline in two of three ESRD patients, 7 d after intake. The half-life of both compounds was estimated to be 10-fold longer in the ESRD patients than in the healthy subjects. Finally, genistein and daidzein levels were measured before and after dialysis in five patients, both while on their regular diet and after one dose of a soy protein isolate drink. In both instances, the dialysis treatment did not affect the blood isoflavone levels. In conclusion, approximately one-third of hemodialysis patients eating the standard American renal diet experience high blood levels of the isoflavones genistein and daidzein, while the remaining two-thirds have undetectable levels. After ingestion of isoflavone-rich food such as soy products, all patients have detectable levels that remain very high for several days due to lack of renal excretion.  (+info)

Daidzein and genistein but not their glucosides are absorbed from the rat stomach. (4/1619)

Absorption of isoflavone aglycones and glucosides was compared in rats. Daidzein, genistein, daidzin and genistin were orally administered at a dose of 7.9 micromol/kg in 25 mM Na2CO3 and next their metabolite concentration in blood plasma was monitored for 30 min. After isoflavone glucosides administration, their metabolites appeared in plasma with a few minutes delay as compared to aglycones, which suggested that aglycones, but not glucosides, were absorbed already in the rat stomach. This observation was confirmed when absorption site was restricted solely to the stomach and absorption was shown to be independent of the vehicle pH used for administration.  (+info)

Urinary disposition of the soybean isoflavones daidzein, genistein and glycitein differs among humans with moderate fecal isoflavone degradation activity. (5/1619)

Glycitein metabolism was compared with other isoflavones to begin to understand the effect of this compound. Total isoflavones of 4.5 micromol/kg body weight from soymilk (high in genistein and daidzein) and soygerm (high in daidzein and glycitein) was fed to seven women and seven men. To minimize interindividual variation, only subjects with moderate fecal isoflavone degradation rates (half-lives of daidzein and genistein were 15.7 and 8.9 h, respectively) were included. The average 48-h urinary excretion of glycitein, daidzein and genistein was approximately 55, 46 and 29% of the dose ingested, respectively, which was significantly different from each other in men and women (P < 0.001). Plasma isoflavone concentrations at 6 and 24 h after soymilk feeding paralleled relative amounts of isoflavones in soymilk (genistein > daidzein > glycitein) (P < 0.05) in men and women, but plasma isoflavone concentrations after soygerm feeding did not parallel soygerm isoflavone concentrations in women because genistein and glycitein did not differ from each other at 6 h after feeding. Six hours after soygerm dosing, plasma isoflavone concentrations paralleled soygerm isoflavone levels in men. Based on plasma isoflavone concentrations at 6 h after dosing, the bioavailabilities of daidzein and genistein were similar in men and women. At the high glycitein dose (soygerm), plasma concentration at 24 h after dosing suggested a modest gender difference in glycitein bioavailability.  (+info)

Soybean isoflavones reduce experimental metastasis in mice. (6/1619)

We investigated the effect of dietary supplementation with isoflavones on pulmonary metastasis of B16BL6 murine melanoma cells in C57BL/6 mice. Mice were fed a basal AIN-93G diet or the basal diet supplemented with the isoflavones genistein and daidzein at 113 micromol/kg, 225 micromol/kg, 450 micromol/kg, or 900 micromol/kg for 2 wk before and after the intravenous injection of 0.5 x 10(5) melanoma cells. At necropsy, the number and size of tumors that formed in the lungs were determined. The number of mice that had >15 lung tumors was 17 in the control group, and 16, 15, 13, and 10 in the groups fed isoflavones at 113 micromol/kg, 225 micromol/kg, 450 micromol/kg and 900 micromol/kg, respectively. The latter two were significantly different from the control (P +info)

Inhibition of ATPase, GTPase and adenylate kinase activities of the second nucleotide-binding fold of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator by genistein. (7/1619)

In the presence of ATP, genistein, like the ATP analogue adenosine 5'-[beta,gamma-imido]triphosphate (pp[NH]pA), increases cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride currents by prolonging open times. As pp[NH]pA is thought to increase CFTR currents by interfering with ATP hydrolysis at the second nucleotide-binding fold (NBF-2), the present study was undertaken to investigate the effects of genistein on a fusion protein comprising maltose-binding protein (MBP) and NBF-2 (MBP-NBF-2). MBP-NBF-2 exhibited ATPase, GTPase and adenylate kinase activities that were inhibited by genistein in a partial non-competitive manner with respect to ATP or GTP. Ki values for competitive and uncompetitive inhibition were respectively 20 microM and 63 microM for ATPase, 15 microM and 54 microM for GTPase, and 46 microM and 142 microM for adenylate kinase. For ATPase activity, genistein reduced Vmax by 29% and Vmax/Km by 77%. Additional evidence for complex-formation between genistein and MBP-NBF-2 was obtained by the detection of genistein-dependent alterations in the CD spectrum of MBP-NBF-2 that were consistent with the formation of a higher-ordered state. Addition of MBP-NBF-2 increased the fluorescence intensity of genistein, consistent with a change to a less polar environment. pp[NH]pA partially eliminated this enhanced fluorescence of genistein. These observations provide the first direct biochemical evidence that genistein interacts with CFTR, thus inhibiting NBF-2 activity, and suggest a similar mechanism for genistein-dependent stimulation of CFTR chloride currents.  (+info)

Macrophage enrichment with the isoflavan glabridin inhibits NADPH oxidase-induced cell-mediated oxidation of low density lipoprotein. A possible role for protein kinase C. (8/1619)

Macrophage-mediated oxidation of low density lipoprotein (LDL) is considered to be of major importance in early atherogenesis; therefore, intervention means to inhibit this process are being extensively studied. In the present study, we questioned the ability of the isoflavan glabridin (from licorice) to accumulate in macrophages and to affect cell-mediated oxidation of LDL. We first performed in vitro studies, using mouse peritoneal macrophages (MPMs) and the J-774 A.1 macrophage-like cell line. Both cells accumulated up to 1.5 micrograms of glabridin/mg of cell protein after 2 h of incubation, and this process was time- and glabridin dose-dependent. In parallel, in glabridin-enriched cells, macrophage-mediated oxidation of LDL was inhibited by up to 80% in comparison with control cells. Glabridin inhibited superoxide release from MPMs in response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate, or to LDL when added together with copper ions, by up to 60%. Translocation of P-47, a cytosolic component of NADPH oxidase to the plasma membrane was substantially inhibited. In glabridin-enriched macrophages, protein kinase C activity reduced by approximately 70%. All of the above effects of glabridin required the presence of the two hydroxyl groups on the flavonoid's B phenol ring. In order to assess the physiological significance of these results, we next performed in vivo studies, using the atherosclerotic apolipoprotein E-deficient (E0) mice. MPMs harvested from glabridin-treated E0 mice (20 micrograms/mouse/day for a period of 6 weeks) demonstrated reduced capability to oxidize LDL by 80% in comparison with placebo-treated mice. This latter phenomenon was associated with a reduction in the lesion oxysterols and a 50% reduction in the aortic lesion size. We thus conclude that glabridin accumulation in macrophages is associated with reduced cell-mediated oxidation of LDL and decreased activation of the NADPH oxidase system. These phenomena could be responsible for the attenuation of atherosclerosis in E0 mice, induced by glabridin.  (+info)

Isoflavones are naturally occurring phytoestrogens. They are mainly derived from plants with estrogenic activity. The isoflavones are highly active compounds especially used as dietary supplement. They are termed as Soy isoflavones. These are largely found in soy products and soybeans, legumes, peanuts, and chickpea. Isoflavones has a large range of application in cosmetic, medical, pharmaceutical and others. It is also used as antioxidants that help to preserve and maintain bone health by increasing bone mineral and bone density.. Isoflavones market is primarily driven by increasing demand in the medical industry as isoflavones reduces the risk of breast cancer, reduces the risk of stroke and coronary heart disease as well as protecting the cardiovascular system. Due to wide ranging benefits of it, isoflavones is widely used in cosmetics and food & beverage industry. This is also expected to trigger the growth of global isoflavones market. In addition, growing utilization of isoflavones as ...
In The study of Soy isoflavones sensitize cancer cells to radiotherapy by Hillman GG, Singh-Gupta V., posted in US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health, researchers found that Soy isoflavones could be an effective complementary treatment given that they inhibit the survival signaling pathways of various cancer cells through altered activation of APE1/Ref-1, NF-κB, and HIF-1α, which are genes essential for tumor cell survival, tumor growth, and angiogenesis, thus making such cells more sensitive to radiotherapy. Studies in which soy isoflavones were given in conjunction with radiotherapy to prostate cancer patients suggest that soy isoflavones might also mitigate the adverse effects of radiation on normal tissues, probably by acting as antioxidants. These observations open new avenues for exploiting soy isoflavones as supplements to conventional therapies ...
In this single-center, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial, 350 postmenopausal women were randomized to either soy isoflavone or placebo groups and followed for 2.5 years. The soy isoflavone group received 25g soy protein containing 85mg soy isoflavones daily, and the placebo group received matched placebo. Generalized estimating equations with identity link function and exchangeable correlation structure were conducted to examine the treatment effects on anthropometric and metabolic parameters in total subjects or among subgroups defined by equol producer, time since menopause, age and ethnicity. The association between plasma isoflavone levels and changes in anthropometric and metabolic parameters were also examined.; The soy isoflavone group did not differ from the placebo group in mean change of LDL-cholesterol, glucose, total cholesterol, or anthropometric measurements. Compared to placebo, the mean increase of HDL-cholesterol was marginally higher in the soy ...
Isoflavones are a type of naturally occurring isoflavonoids, many of which act as phytoestrogens in mammals. Isoflavones are produced almost exclusively by the members of the Fabaceae (i.e., Leguminosae, or bean) family. Although isoflavones and closely related phytoestrogens are sold as dietary supplements, there is little scientific evidence for either the safety of long-term supplementation or of health benefits from these compounds. Some studies have identified potential risks from high intake of isoflavones, such as in women with a history of breast cancer, but this concern has not been substantiated with high-quality clinical research. Isoflavones of nutritional interest are substituted derivatives of isoflavone, being related to the parent by the replacement of two or three hydrogen atoms with hydroxyl groups. The parent isoflavone is of no nutritional interest. Isoflavone differs from flavone (2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyr-4-one) in location of the phenyl group. Isoflavones are produced via a ...
Dietary soy intake in man is proposed to provide cardiovascular protection, but it is not established whether this property is attributable to the soy protein per se or to associated dietary isoflavones. This investigation aimed to establish whether the dietary isoflavones in soy protein affect cardiovascular function. Ten days prior to mating, male and female Wistar rats were habituated to either a soy based isoflavone rich diet (plasma concentration 1.87 micromol l(-1) isoflavones) or the same diet after isoflavone elution (plasma isoflavone not detectable). Offspring were weaned onto and maintained on the same diet as their dam and sire for 6 months. Blood pressure, and constrictor and dilator responses in the aorta and mesenteric resistance arteries were assessed at 3 and 6 months of age. There was no effect of isoflavone removal from the diet on blood pressure, heart rate, aortic function or mesenteric artery contractile function, at either 3 or 6 months of age. Resistance mesenteric arteries from
This editorial summarizes the recent American Heart Association (AHA) Science Advisory on soy protein and isoflavones (phytoestrogens) published in the February 21, 2006, issue of Circulation.1 Soy protein and isoflavones have gained considerable attention for their potential role in improving risk factors for cardiovascular disease. This scientific advisory report assesses the more recent work published on soy protein and its component isoflavones. In 22 randomized trials, isolated soy protein with isoflavones compared with milk or other proteins decreased LDL cholesterol concentrations in most studies; the average effect was approximately 3%. This reduction is very small compared with the large amount of soy protein tested in these studies, averaging 50 g, approximately half the usual total daily protein intake. No significant effects were evident on HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, lipoprotein(a), or blood pressure. Among 19 studies of soy isoflavones, the average effect on LDL cholesterol and ...
Systemic injection with lipopolysaccharide can lead to depressive-like behavior in experimental animals by inducing neuroinflammation and is considered to be a classic model of depression. S-equol is a major metabolite of dietary soy isoflavones with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and it has many beneficial effects on human health, including alleviation of menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, cancer, obesity, chronic kidney disease, and cognitive dysfunction. A recent study reported that S-equol inhibited lipopolysaccharide-stimulated neuroinflammation in astrocytes. However, there is no research on the antidepressant-like effects of S-equol. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate the antidepressant-like effects of S-equol in a lipopolysaccharide-induced depression model in mice and explore its underlying mechanisms. Our results demonstrated that treatment with S-equol (10, 20 and 40 mg kg-1) for 19 days markedly reversed the behavior of acute LPS (1.0 mg kg-1) treated ...
Following a request from the European Commission, the Panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies (NDA) was asked to provide a scientific opinion on health claims pursuant to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 in the framework of further assessment related to soy isoflavones and maintenance of bone mineral density and reduction of vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause. The food constituent that is the subject of the claim, soy isoflavones, is sufficiently characterised. The claimed effects, maintenance of bone mineral density and reduction of vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause, which are eligible for further assessment, are beneficial physiological effects. The proposed target populations are peri- and/or post-menopausal women. On the basis of the data presented, the Panel concludes that the evidence provided is insufficient to establish a cause and effect relationship between the consumption of soy isoflavones and maintenance of bone mineral density, and between ...

The bottom line?. The authors concluded, Soy isoflavones had an effect of lowering blood pressure in hypertensive subjects, but not in normotensive subjects.. By comparison, regular aerobic exercise, weight loss of 3% to 9% of body weight, reduced dietary salt, the DASH diet, and moderation of alcohol intake are all lifestyle interventions that lower blood pressure from 3 to 11 mmHg systolic and 2.5 to 5.5 mmHg diastolic, depending on the lifestyle change selected..

The soy isoflavones are prime dietary candidates for breast cancer prevention, with a wealth of supporting epidemiologic and laboratory data; recent studies provide additional support for a protection against breast cancer causation and relapse (6-8). However, these favorable effects of soy consumption are found mainly in Asian populations (7), with the possible explanation that intake early in life is the key (9). Soy consumption by Western women at risk for breast cancer, and breast cancer survivors, has been deterred by rodent data showing a cancer-promoting effect of soy components (10, 11). Unbiased data on breast outcomes following introduction of soy components into the diets of adult Western women are lacking. We conducted a randomized phase II trial using unconjugated mixed soy isoflavones in a dose that approximates that of the upper quartile of soy-consuming Far-East Asians (8, 30). We used a 2-week washout period prior to randomization and provided all participants with a list of ...

Soy foods are a traditional staple of Asian diets but because of their purported health benefits they have become popular in recent years among non-Asians, especially postmenopausal women. There are many bioactive soybean components that may contribute to the hypothesized health benefits of soy but most attention has focused on the isoflavones, which have both hormonal and nonhormonal properties. According to the study by the Loma Linda University, posted in PubMed, collectively the findings provide little evidence that in euthyroid, iodine-replete individuals, soy foods, or isoflavones adversely affect thyroid function. In contrast, some evidence suggests that soy foods, by inhibiting absorption, may increase the dose of thyroid hormone required by hypothyroid patients. However, hypothyroid adults need not avoid soy foods. In addition, there remains a theoretical concern based on in vitro and animal data that in individuals with compromised thyroid function and/or whose iodine intake is ...
Soy isoflavones are diphenolic compounds that are frequently used for alternative treatment of ageing symptoms in both genders. They operate at principally two hierarchical levels of functional organization - cellular and molecular, while these types of action appear to have indefinite borders. Soy isoflavone action at the cellular level involves inter alia the effects on cell mechanics. This epigenetic and modular determinant of cell function and fate is defined by: the anchorage to extracellular matrix (ECM) and neighboring cells, cytoskeleton organization, membrane tension and vesicle trafficking. Soy isoflavones have been reported to: (i) generally fashion an inert cell phenotype in some cancers and enhance the cell anchorage in connective tissues, via the effects on ECM proteins, focal adhesion kinases-mediated events and matrix metalloproteinases inhibition; (ii) affect cytoskeleton integrity, the effects being related to Ca(2+) ions fluxes and involving cell retraction or ...
2005, Estrogenic effects of soy isoflavones on neurons have been observed in various studies. Soy contains numerous phytochemicals including isoflavones, phytic acid, trypsin inhibitors, saponins. Soy isoflavones are referred to as phytoestrogens because they bind to the estrogen receptors and affect estrogen-mediated processes. Soy isoflavones can exert both agonistic and antagonistic estrogenic effects, and have inhibitory effects on tyrosine kinase, topoisomerase and angiogenesis. Soy can affect synthesis of acetylcholine, and neurotrophic factors such as BDNF and nerve growth factor in the brain of the female rat. Frontal cortex choline acetyltransferase mRNA levels and BDNF were significantly higher in rats receiving soy isoflavones. DNA fragmentation was detected in homogenates of brain tissue from rats receiving either dose (2mg/day or 2mg/day) genistein. Daidzein augments nitric oxide (neurotransmitter of the vasodilator nerve) synthesis in the basilar artery and increases contraction ...
Soy isoflavones are generally associated with the protein component of soy, meaning that soy products that have low or no protein, like soybean oil or soy sauce, have low levels, if any, of isoflavones.. Interestingly, that does not necessarily mean soy protein powders have sky high levels of isoflavones. In fact, soy protein concentrate is very low in isoflavone content {TW: Link includes specific numbers}, because it is extracted with alcohol. Most soy products, like soy meat substitutes or soy protein bars, use soy protein concentrate. On the other hand, soy protein isolate uses a different extraction process that helps to retain more of the protein, so its isoflavone content is higher, but still less than half of the isoflavones in whole soybeans.. ...
Soybean is a rich source of isoflavones such as genistein and daidzein. Soy isoflavones have both weak estrogenic and anti-estrogenic effects and are structurally similar to tamoxifen, an agent that has an effect similar to that of estrogen in terms of reducing postmenopausal bone loss. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of differences in protein source (casein vs soy) and isoflavone levels (reduced vs higher levels) on selected bone markers and hormones in growing male rats. Thirty weanling Sprague-Dawley young rats were divided into 3 groups: The control group was fed a casein-based diet, the soy concentrate group was fed soy protein with totally reduced isoflavones content (isoflavones 0.07 mg/g protein), and the soy isolate group was fed soy protein with a higher than normal isoflavones content (isoflavones 3.4 mg/g protein). The degree of bone formation was estimated by measuring serum osteocalcin and alkaline phosphoatase (ALP). By determining collagen cross-linkage by ...

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer in men and the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Prostate cancer, like many cancers, is a disease that generally requires a long period of time to develop and grow before it becomes detectable. This long period of latency makes prostate cancer a candidate for dietary chemoprevention. Soy and selenium (Se), are associated with a decreased risk of prostate cancer. We previously showed that high dietary intake of selenium (Se) and soy isoflavones decreased the expression of the androgen receptor (AR) and AR-regulated genes in the prostates of healthy rats. In this study we hypothesized that the downregulation of AR and AR-regulated genes would inhibit tumorigenesis in the transgenic adenocarcinoma of the mouse prostate (TRAMP) mouse. Mice were fed one of two stock diets with or without a supplement of Se in a 2 X 2 factorial design. The stock diets provided high or low dietary isoflavones. Mice were exposed to the diets
In the United States, consumption of soy products has dramatically increased in the past several years. Foods made from soy are high in isoflavones and evidence suggests that these isoflavones, genistein in particular, have many beneficial properties such as alleviating menopausal side effects and reducing the risk of osteoporosis, breast cancer, and prostate cancer. However, this data has been derived largely from studies with animal or cell models; human trials are limited. This study will determine the effects of soy isoflavones on quality of life and cancer and bone density markers.. While isoflavones have been purported to inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells, the concentrations required for this anti-cancer effect were determined to be much higher than the concentrations that can be achieved in plasma after intake of isoflavones.

Of the many heat-stable factors present in soy formulas, the phytoestrogens are of particular interest in human health. Phytoestrogens consist of several groups of nonsteroidal estrogens, including isoflavones. Isoflavones are commonly found in legumes, with the highest amount found in soybeans.1,10 Concerns raised in relation to phytoestrogens/isoflavones include their potential negative effects on sexual development and reproduction, neurobehavioral development, immune function, and thyroid function. On the other hand, epidemiologic studies have suggested a protective effect of isoflavones against a number of adult chronic diseases, including coronary heart disease and breast, endometrial, and prostate cancers.11,12. The structural similarity of phytoestrogens with 17-estradiol has prompted studies on the possible effects of soy isoflavones on reproductive function and growth. Numerous toxicity studies in rats have demonstrated some effects on estrogen-related tissues, but overall maternal ...
Contents Placental and breastfeeding transfer of soy isoflavones are potential routes for animal and human exposure to phytoestrogens, and reproductive dysfunctions have been linked to early exposure to these compounds. So, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of perinatal (intrauterine and lactational) exposure to soy-containing diet and soy-derived isoflavones on the reproductive parameters of male rabbits. For this purpose, 12 female rabbits were randomly assigned to receive: (1) a soy- and alfalfa-free diet (control diet); (2) a soy- and alfalfa-free diet supplemented with 10 mg/kg body wt/day of soy isoflavones; (3) a soy- and alfalfa-free diet supplemented with 20 mg/kg body wt/day of soy isoflavones; and (4) a diet containing 18% of soy meal, throughout gestation and lactation. Weight and morphology of the reproductive organs of some of the male offspring were evaluated at weaning (between days 29 and 31). The remaining males were placed on the control diet from weaning to ...

The overall aims of the studies underlying this thesis were to investigate effects of key factors on the concentrations and composition of phytoestrogens and fatty acids in forage species, and effects of differences in their concentrations and composition in forage on their concentrations in bovine milk.. In each of the spring cuts, the total isoflavone concentrations in red clover were higher at Umeå than at Skara. At Umeå, the concentration decreased with later cutting time, but at Skara there were no differences between the cutting times. The most abundant isoflavone found in red clover were formononetin, followed by biochanin A. In the summer cuts, the total isoflavone concentration decreased with a longer regrowth interval at Umeå, but this variable was not affected at Skara. Concentrations of each of the analysed isoflavones were considerably higher in red clover than in birdsfoot trefoil. Secoisolariciresinol was only found in birdsfoot trefoil.. Meadow fescue had in general higher ...
2569 Soy isoflavones are being investigated as potential cancer preventive agents. Two independent studies were conducted to investigate tumor modulating abilities of a mixture of isoflavones, or an isoflavone genistein on colon cancer incidence. In the first study, the incidence of colon precancer and cancer were determined in the male offspring (F1 generation) from male and female Sprague Dawley rats exposed to soy-based diets containing variable levels of soy isoflavones during their lifetime, including during pregnancy and lactation. At weaning, the F1 rats were acclimatized on their respective parental soy-based, semi-purified basal diets containing 0, 50, or 1250 mg/kg diet of soy isoflavones. At the age of 45 days, rats received one subcutaneous dose, once a week for two weeks, of saline or 15 mg/kg body weight azoxymethane (AOM), a colon-specific carcinogen. Rats were maintained on their respective experimental diets throughout the study, which terminated 26 weeks after the first dose of ...
In addition to possibly preventing the development of prostate cancer, soy consumption may also help prevent its metastasis, according to both animal and human evidence. For example, a recent study published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute reported that the level of an enzyme that allows cells to invade tissues was markedly reduced in prostate cancer patients given the soybean isoflavone genistein.18 In a separate animal study, adding isoflavones to the diet in mice was found to inhibit prostate tumor metastasis by 96%.19 Finally, in men with prostate cancer whose treatment has been unsuccessful, preliminary evidence suggests that soy isoflavones may be of benefit. Some studies, but not all, show that isoflavones slow the rise in prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels.20 PSA is protein produced by the prostate that can be measured in the blood, and is used as a marker of prostate cancer ...

On average, women consumed 1.8 milligrams of isoflavone daily, roughly the amount in one ounce of soy cheese and far less than a 3-ounce serving of tofu or a half-cup portion of edamame. During the study, 1,224 women died. Overall, women with the highest quartile of dietary isoflavone intake, an average of at least 1.5 milligrams a day, were 21 percent less likely to die than women in the lowest quartile who got less than 0.3 milligrams a day, researchers report in Cancer. For women with tumors not fueled by hormones, the highest amount of isoflavone intake was tied to 51 percent lower odds of death from all causes. Among women who didnt receive hormone therapy, the highest level of dietary isoflavone was associated with 32 percent lower odds of death from all causes. One limitation of the study is that women who ate more foods with soy tended to be more affluent and educated, with healthier lifestyles, making it possible that other factors beyond dietary isoflavone influences longevity, the ...
Solid - Lipid Nanoparticles (SLNs) based 0.1 % topical gel of soy isoflavones was formulated with the aim of better penetration through stratum cornea and efficient deposition of soy isoflavones in dermal matrix so as to aid in reversing postmenopausal skin aging. Isoflavoneaglycones were extracted from whole herbal soy extract and were characterized with respect to physical, spectral and antioxidant activity. SLNs prepared by microemulsion template technique were characterized by photon correlation spectroscopy for size and by Scanning Electron Microscopy for morphology. The nanoparticulate dispersion was suitably gelled and characterized with respect to pH, spreadability, rheology, drug content, in-vitro permeation using pig ear skin model and its safety was assessed using primary skin irritation studies. The developed SLN-based gel showed about 60% deposition of soy isoflavones in dermal matrix and showed no skin irritation on intact rabbit skin ...

Those two reported an effect of soy isoflavones at doses of 54 mg per day at the lumbar spine and femoral neck, which was accompanied by a significant increase in markers of bone formation and a significant decrease in markers of bone resorption. However, the panel noted that such changes in BMD at the lumbar spine seen in short term studies (six to nine months) could have resulted from a change in the remodeling balance which may not be retained in subsequent remodeling cycles and that the evidence for a mechanism by which soy isoflavones may exert an effect on bone mass and turnover in post-menopausal women is weak ...
In the present study, we did not observe changes in mammographic density after 1 year of daily supplementation of soy protein containing 99 mg isoflavones in a randomized placebo-controlled trial among elderly women. The observed decrease in mammographic density was expected, as natural involution of the breast occurs with age. The decrease in both the dense area and percent density was similar in both study groups and the increase of the nondense area was also similar between the soy and the placebo groups.. Major strengths of our study include the duration of the study and the large amount of soy protein consumed, which was in the upper range of dietary intake in Asian countries (26, 27). Compliance was good as genistein levels measured at the final visit differed markedly between the soy and the placebo group (19). Another strong point of the study was the assessment of participants capability to produce equol in the intestinal tract, as this trait may define who will benefit most from soy ...

Soy isoflavones and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are effective for maintaining bone health. This study investigated the combined effects of soy isoflavones and DHA on osteoclast formation. Mouse bone marrow cells were pre-cultured with macrophage colony-stimulating factor (M-CSF) for 3 days and then cultured with M-CSF and receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) for 6 days. RAW 264.7 cells were cultured with RANKL for 5 days. In mouse bone marrow cells, daidzein, genistein, and DHA significantly decreased the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive multinucleated cells (TRAP(+)MNCs), and the combination of soy isoflavones and DHA further decreased the number of TRAP(+)MNCs. Nuclear factor of activated T-cells c1 (NFATc1) mRNA expression tended to be decreased by daidzein, and was significantly decreased by genistein and DHA. Furthermore, the combination of daidzein and DHA caused significant reduction in NFATc1 mRNA expression compared to the control. In RAW 264.7 cells,

The estrogenic soy isoflavone, genistein, stimulates growth of estrogen-dependent human breast cancer (MCF-7) cells in vivo. Genistin is the glycoside form of genistein and the predominant form found in plants. It is generally believed that genistin is metabolized to the aglycone genistein in the lower gut. However, it is unclear if the rate of metabolism of genistin to genistein is sufficient to produce a level of genistein capable of stimulating estrogen-dependent breast cancer cell growth. Our hypothesis was that dietary genistin would stimulate tumor growth similar to that observed with genistein in athymic mice. To test this hypothesis, genistin or genistein was fed to athymic mice containing xenografted estrogen-dependent breast tumors (MCF-7). Mice were fed either genistein at 750 p.p.m. (parts per milllion) or genistin at 1200 p.p.m., which provides equal molar concentrations of aglycone equivalents in both diets. Tumor size was measured weekly for 11 weeks. At completion of the study, ...
TY - JOUR. T1 - Dietary phytoestrogens. AU - Kurzer, Mindy S. AU - Xu, Xia. PY - 1997/8/19. Y1 - 1997/8/19. N2 - Broadly defined, phytoestrogens include isoflavones, coumestans, and lignans. A number of these compounds have been identified in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains commonly consumed by humans. Soybeans, clover and alfalfa sprouts, and oilseeds (such as flaxseed) are the most significant dietary sources of isoflavones, coumestans, and lignans, respectively. Studies in humans, animals, and cell culture systems suggest that dietary phytoestrogens play an important role in prevention of menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis, cancer, and heart disease. Proposed mechanisms include estrogenic and antiestrogenic effects, induction of cancer cell differentiation, inhibition of tyrosine kinase and DNA topoisomerase activities, suppression of angiogenesis, and antioxidant effects. Although there currently are no dietary recommendations for individual phytoestrogens, there may be great benefit in ...

Isoflavones are found in leguminous plants, especially soybeans. They have a structural similarity to natural estrogens, which enables them to bind to estrogen receptors and elicit biological activities similar to natural estrogens. They have been suggested to be beneficial for the prevention and therapy of hormone-dependent diseases. After soy products are consumed, the bacteria of the intestinal microflora metabolize isoflavones to metabolites with altered absorption, bioavailability, and estrogenic characteristics. Variations in the effect of soy products have been correlated with the isoflavone metabolites found in plasma and urine samples of the individuals consuming soy products. The beneficial effects of the soy isoflavone daidzin, the glycoside of daidzein, have been reported in individuals producing equol, a reduction product of daidzein produced by specific colonic bacteria in individuals called equol producers. These individuals comprise 30% and 60% of populations consuming Western and soy
Background and Objectives: Data on associations between soy food intake after cancer diagnosis with breast cancer survival are conflicting, so we conducted this meta-analysis for more accurate evaluation. Methods: Comprehensive searches were conducted to find cohort studies of the relationship between soy food intake after cancer diagnosis and breast cancer survival. Data were analyzed with comprehensive meta-analysis software. Results: Five cohort studies (11,206 patients) were included. Pooling all comparisons, soy food intake after diagnosis was associated with reduced mortality (HR 0.85, 95%CI 0.77 0.93) and recurrence (HR 0.79, 95%CI 0.72 0.87). Pooling the comparisons of highest vs. lowest dose, soy food intake after diagnosis was again associated with reduced mortality (HR 0.84, 95%CI 0.71 0.99) and recurrence (HR 0.74, 95%CI 0.64 0.85). Subgroup analysis of ER status showed that soy food intake was associated with reduced mortality in both ER negative (highest vs. lowest: HR 0.75, 95%CI 0.64

Increased soy consumption in Asian diets, resulting in increased serum isoflavone levels, has been associated with a decreased risk for prostate adenocarcinoma (PCa). The isoflavone genistein is believed to be the anticancer agent found in soy, and significant levels of genistein have been detected in human prostatic fluid, implicating the role of genistein in PCa prevention. Recent studies have demonstrated genisteins ability to inhibit cell growth and induce apoptosis in several cell lines; however, the molecular mechanisms of genisteins effect are not known. We have evaluated the mechanism by which genistein may inhibit PCa cell growth. Here we report that genistein inhibits PCa cell growth in culture in a dose-dependent manner, which is accompanied by a G2/M cell cycle arrest. Cell growth inhibition was observed with concomitant downregulation of cyclin B, upregulation of the p21WAF1 growth-inhibitory protein, and induction of apoptosis. Collectively, these results provide experimental ...
Whenever the topic of treatment with red clover is raised, some people voice concern about the possible risk of breast cancer, as red clover contains phytoestrogens. Based on data gathered during a recent (2009) European Food Safety Authority working group that investigated isoflavones, the experts concluded that red clover-derived isoflavones do not increase the risk of breast cancer and in fact provide real relief for post-menopausal women.. Red clover has been the subject of much scientific investigation. Some research has suggested that the herb may help protect against heart disease, with red clover isoflavones showing an ability to increase good high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in pre- and post-menopausal women. Other studies have suggested that red clover isoflavones may slow bone loss in pre- and post-menopausal women, but this has not been definitively determined. Red clover is also being investigated for its possible use in preventing cancer. Traditionally, red clover ...
Title:Isoflavones, their Glycosides and Glycoconjugates. Synthesis and Biological Activity. VOLUME: 21 ISSUE: 3. Author(s):Wieslaw Szeja, Grzegorz Grynkiewicz and Aleksandra Rusin. Affiliation:Silesian Technical University, Department of Chemistry, Krzywoustego 4, 44-100 Gliwice, Poland. Keywords:Isoflavones, chemical glycosylations, isoflavone glycoconjugates.. Abstract:Glycosylation of small biologically active molecules, either of natural or synthetic origin, has a profound impact on their solubility, stability, and bioactivity, making glycoconjugates attractive compounds as therapeutic agents or nutraceuticals. A large proportion of secondary metabolites, including flavonoids, occur in plants as glycosides, which adds to the molecular diversity that is much valued in medicinal chemistry studies. The subsequent growing market demand for glycosidic natural products has fueled the development of various chemical and biotechnological methods of glycosides preparation. The review gives an ...
Ipriflavone is a synthetic isoflavone derivative, which has been suggested to be an inhibitor of bone resorption and a stimulator of osteoblast activity in vitro in cell cultures and in vivo in experimental models of osteoporosis. Preliminary studies, mainly performed in Italy and Japan, suggested that ipriflavone (typical dosage 600 mg/day) is able to prevent bone loss, and some data even suggested that ipriflavone may increase bone mass in postmenopausal women. However, reports of lymphocytopenia in women taking ipriflavone generated concerns regarding the safety of this particular compound. In order to investigate the effect of oral ipriflavone in prevention of postmenopausal bone loss and to assess the safety profile of long-term treatment with ipriflavone in postmenopausal osteoporotic women, a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled 4-year study was conducted in 474 postmenopausal white women with bone mineral densities below the threshold for a diagnosis of osteoporosis, according to ...

SY09-03 Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring diphenolic compounds from plants that are structurally similar to the hormone 17β-estradiol. Possible anticarcinogenic effects of these compounds in breast cancer are attributed to their capability to bind to estrogen receptors. However, large-scale epidemiological studies have been limited by difficulties in quantifying phytoestrogen intake. Previous assays for phytoestrogens in biological fluids have analysed for a limited number of analytes and have often suffered from complex, multi-stage sample preparation techniques. Using newly developed GC/MS and LC/MS methods incorporating triply 13C-labelled standards, seven phytoestrogens (daidzein, genistein, glycitein, O-desmethylangolensin (O-DMA), equol, enterodiol, and enterolactone), it is now possible to measure urinary and circulating levels of phytoestrogens more accurately 1,2. In the absence of food composition data (although analyses are ongoing for UK foods) either phytoestrogens in either ...
Soy phyto-estrogens and male reproductive function. Caution…soy formula should be avoided www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19919579. 2001 Studies show that soybean-based formulas contain large quantities of phytoestrogens, particularly isoflavones. Because of experimental data suggesting possible deleterious effects of phytoestrogens on neuroendocrine maturation, the reduction of soy content in formulas must be considered. www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11760676. 2010 Soy isoflavones, genistein and daidzein are widely consumed with evidence for potential adverse effects.

Studies have shown that neonatal exposure to soy isoflavones improve bone outcomes in mice at adulthood. Now a recent study has shown that prenatal and early-life exposure to soy isoflavones with folic acid supplementation provides functional benefits to male bone development (eg. higher bone mineral density, and greater resistance to fracture at the femur and lumbar spines). Pregnant mice who ingest soy have male offspring with better bones.. Another study looking at the effect of perinatal exposure to phytoestrogens in rats found that it leads to a higher bone mineral density later in life. It is suggested that these changes may have occurred as a consequence of programming effects, as has been shown for the endocrine and immune systems. Rats exposed to soy early in life have better bones.. Metabolic syndrome is a combination of disorders that combined together increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes. Rats that consume a soy-based diet (compared with a casein-based diet) ...
The distribution of flavonoids, isoflavonoids, and their conjugates in developing soybean (Glycine max L.) seedling organs and in root and seed exudates has been examined. Conjugates of the isoflavones daidzein and genistein are major metabolites in all embryonic organs within the dry seed and in seedling roots, hypocotyl, and cotyledon tissues at all times after germination. Primary leaf tissues undergo a programmed shift from isoflavonoid to flavonoid metabolism 3 days after germination and become largely predominated by glycosides of the flavonols kampferol, quercetin, and isorhamnetin by 5 days. Cotyledons contain relatively constant and very high levels of conjugates of both daidzein and genistein. Hypocotyl tissues contain a third unidentified compound, P19.3, also present in multiple conjugated forms.

Genistin is an isoflavone found in a number of dietary plants like soy and kudzu. It was first isolated in 1931 from the 90% methanol extract of a soybean meal, when it was found that hydrolysis with hydrochloric acid produced 1 mole each of genistein and glucose. Chemically it is the 7-O-beta-D-glucoside form of genistein and is the predominant form of the isoflavone naturally occurring in plants. In fact, studies in the 1970s revealed that 99% of the isoflavonoid compounds in soy are present as their glucosides. The glucosides are converted by digestive enzymes in the digestive system to exert their biological effects. Genistin is also converted to a more familiar genistein, thus, the biological activities including antiatherosclerotic, estrogenic and anticancer effects are analogous. When ingested along the diet, genistin is readily converted to its aglycone form, genistein. It is hydrolyzed by removing the covalently bound glucose to form genistein and that genistein is the form of the ...

Although a significant amount of scientific research about soy and soy isoflavones exists, the adoption of soy isoflavones into the care of women in menopause has to date been recommended mainly by physicians and health care practitioners involved in integrative medicine. We believed that facilitating a robust review of the current scientific evidence about the benefits and risks of soy could yield a document useful to physicians to help them make decisions about soy use with their patients, particularly those in menopause, said Belinda H. Jenks, Ph.D., director of Scientific Affairs & Nutrition Education at Pharmavite LLC. Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., Pharmavite LLC and the Allmen Foundation supported the development of the symposium and report via an unrestricted educational grant ...
The study is believed to be the first randomised controlled trial to investigate the effects of isoflavone supplement on the way the brachial artery (the main artery in the arm) dilates in response to an increase in blood flow - a phenomenon known as flow-mediated dilation (FMD) - in patients with established cardiovascular disease. Brachial FMD is an indicator of the functioning of the cells that line the inner surfaces of blood vessels (vascular endothelium), and endothelial dysfunction is implicated in cardiovascular disease.. Professor Hung-Fat Tse, William MW Mong Professor in Cardiology and Academic Chief of the Cardiology Division in the Department of Medicine, Queen Mary Hospital, The University of Hong Kong (Hong Kong, China) and his team found that 12 weeks of isoflavone supplement, at a dose of 80 mg a day, significantly improved brachial FMD and, therefore, vascular endothelial dysfunction in patients who had suffered an ischaemic stroke (a stroke caused by blood clots or other ...
Bone loss increases dramatically around the time of meno-pause, largely due to the estrogen decline. Several clinical trials, including the Womens Health Initiative, show estrogen therapy reduces bone loss and fracture risk. The potential skeletal benefits of isoflavones have piqued researchers interest. Two prospective epidemiologic studies have evaluated the relationship between soy intake and fracture risk. Comparing women in the highest soy-intake category to those in the lowest, both studies found high intake reduced the fracture risk by about one-third. In one study, 1,770 fractures of all types occurred among more than 24,000 Shanghai women followed for 4.5 years. In the other study, 692 hip fractures occurred in more than 34,000 Singaporean women followed for 7 years. Since 1998, more than 25 clinical trials have evaluated the effects of isoflavone-containing products on bone mineral density (BMD) in peri- and postmenopausal women. How-ever, most of these trials had a short duration. ...
Avoid if allergic to soy. Breathing problems and rash may occur in sensitive people. Soy, as a part of the regular diet, is traditionally considered to be safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding, but there is limited scientific data. The effects of high doses of soy or soy isoflavones in humans are not clear, and therefore are not recommended. People who experience intestinal irritation (colitis) from cows milk may experience intestinal damage or diarrhea from soy. It is not known if soy or soy isoflavones share the same side effects as estrogens, like increased risk of blood clots. The use of soy is often discouraged in patients with hormone-sensitive cancers, such as breast, ovarian, or uterine cancer. Other hormone-sensitive conditions such as endometriosis may also be worsened. Patients taking blood-thinning drugs like warfarin should check with a doctor and pharmacist before taking soy supplementation ...

Tofu and its main ingredient soy have many great heart benefits. Research has shown that a regular intake of soy protein helps lower total cholesterol levels, LDL, triglycerides, and the tendency of platelets to form blood clots. These benefits come from the high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically Alpha-linolenic Acid, selenium, calcium, and magnesium. Calcium is also great for bone health since it helps build bone density and prevent accelerated bone loss. Other bone-benefiting minerals found in tofu is manganese, copper, and phosphorus.. Tofu and soy also have shown great benefit in alleviating menopause symptoms. Soy contains phytoestrogens, specifically the isoflavones genistein and daidzein, which help dock estrogen receptors and act like weak estrogens. Perimenopause is a time when a womens estrogen is fluctuating and phytoestrogens can help maintain balance. During menopause when a womens natural ability to produce estrogen drops, phytoestrogens have enough activity to reduce ...
