The Soy Isoflavone, Genistein, as a Modulator of Intestinal Development
… genistein at concentrations currently present in soy infant formulas inhibited intestinal cell proliferation both in vitro and in vivo, which may have implications for the intestinal health of infants and requires further investigation.

Soy Isoflavone Supplementation Does Not Alter Lymphocyte Proliferation and Cytokine Production In Postmenopausal Women
A growing body of evidence has demonstrated that soy isoflavone consumption may protect against the development of various chronic diseases. This protection could be linked to isoflavone-induced alterations in immune function. However, recent in vitro and animal studies suggest that soy isoflavones …

The effect of soy isoflavone intake on cardiovascular disease risk factors - potential role of equol
Isoflavones, the subclass of flavonoids found in soybeans, may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, the current evidence is inconsistent. The capability to produce the isoflavone metabolite equol in 20-60 % of the population might underlie the benefits of isoflavone intake on …

Soy Isoflavone Supplementation Does Not Alter Distribution of Circulating Lymphocytes or Natural Killer Cell Activity in Postmenopausal Women
A growing body of evidence has demonstrated that soy isoflavone consumption may protect against the development of various chronic diseases. This defense could be linked to isoflavone-induced alterations in immune function. However, to date, no study has examined the effect of soy isoflavone …

The effects of dietary soy isoflavone supplementation on carcass cutability and meat quality of pigs infected with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus
… syndrome virus (PRRSV) infection and dietary soy isoflavone (ISF) supplementation on carcass cutability and meat quality of commercial pigs. Barrows were randomly allotted to experimental treatments that were maintained throughout the study: non-infected pigs received an isoflavone-devoid …

Physicochemical and sensory properties of soymilk from five soybean lines
Soymilk may provide health benefits due to its soy isoflavone compounds, polyunsaturated fatty acid compositions and fibers. The main objective of this study was to investigate the effects of soybean varieties on descriptive sensory evaluation, consumer acceptance test, and texture properties of …

The effect of dietary genistein on breast cancer metastasis
The dietary isoflavone supplements are now perceived as safe and a natural alternative to hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and are recently being consumed by postmenopausal women. However, as weak estrogens, isoflavones may have the potential to alter breast cancer (BC) growth and metastasis which …

MICROBES ON THE MENU: INVESTIGATING FOOD AS A VEHICLE FOR MICROORGANISMS FOR THE HUMAN INTESTINAL ECOSYSTEM
… pushed us into the development of a novel soy-based fermented product with increased health capacity. A consortium of LAB was isolated from traditional kefir, including Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis K03, Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides K05, L. mesenteroides K09, and Lentilactobacillus …

Epigenetic modifications on WNT genes by dietary genistein during colon cancer development
… two populations is that East Asians consume more soy products. Genistein, a soy-derived isoflavone has been shown to act as an epigenome modifier, and to have anti-cancer properties. We aimed to explore the role(s) of soy isoflavone genistein during the development of colon cancer. Using a human …

Mechanisms of soy isoflavones in the regulation of vascular function
… the burden of CVD morbidity. Genistein, a major soy isoflavone, may be one of those alternative agents because of its selective affinity to estrogen receptor-beta and various beneficial effects on CVD. However, the mechanism of the cardioprotective effects of genistein is still unclear. The …

Improving CNS Delivery of Genistein for the Treatment of Sanfilippo Syndrome
… for treating MPS III. Genistein, a dietary soy isoflavone, has been observed to effectively reduce the production and reduce or prevent further accumulation of heparan sulfate in lysosomes in vitro as well as in vivo. However, in vivo reduction of heparan sulfate was seen only in the …

Stability of bioactive isoflavones and glycolytic enzymes produced by probiotic bacteria in soy based food during processing and storage
… the stability of these enzymes during storage in soymilk has not been studied. β-glucosidase is an important enzyme that could be used in the bioconversion of the predominant soy isoflavone glycosides to their bioactive aglycone forms. Fifteen probiotic micro-organisms that included …
