Does genotype and equol-production status affect response to isoflavones? : Data from a pan-European study on the effects of isoflavones on cardiovascular risk markers in post-menopausal women
Vafeiadou, Katerina; Hall, Wendy L.; Williams, Christine M. (2006-02)The increase in CVD incidence following the menopause is associated with oestrogen loss. Dietary isoflavones are thought to be cardioprotective via their oestrogenic and oestrogen receptor-independent effects, but evidence ... -
Low-grade inflammation, diet composition and health : current research evidence and its translation
Minihane, Anne-Marie; Vinoy, Sophie; Russell, Wendy R.; Baka, Athanasia; Roche, Helen M.; Tuohy, Kieran M.; Teeling, Jessica L.; Blaak, Ellen E.; Fenech, Michael; Vauzour, David; McArdle, Harry J.; Kremer, Bas H. A.; Sterkman, Luc; Vafeiadou, Katerina; Benedetti, Massimo Massi; Williams, Christine M.; Calder, Philip C. (2015-10-14)The importance of chronic low-grade inflammation in the pathology of numerous age-related chronic conditions is now clear. An unresolved inflammatory response is likely to be involved from the early stages of disease ... -
A review of the evidence for the effects of total dietary fat, saturated, monounsaturated and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids on vascular function, endothelial progenitor cells and microparticles
Vafeiadou, Katerina; Weech, Michelle; Sharma, Vandana; Yaqoob, Parveen; Todd, Susan; Williams, Christine M.; Jackson, Kim G.; Lovegrove, Julie A. (2012-02)Vascular dysfunction is recognised as an integrative marker of CVD. While dietary strategies aimed at reducing CVD risk include reductions in the intake of SFA, there are currently no clear guidelines on what should replace ... -
Soy-isoflavone-enriched foods and inflammatory biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk in postmenopausal women : interactions with genotype and equol production
Hall, Wendy L.; Vafeiadou, Katerina; Hallund, Jesper; Bügel, Susanne; Koebnick, Corinna; Reimann, Manja; Ferrari, Marika; Branca, Francesco; Talbot, Duncan; Dadd, Tony; Nilsson, Maria; Dahlman-Wright, Karin; Gustafsson, Jan-Ake; Minihane, Anne-Marie; Williams, Christine M. (2005-12)Dietary isoflavones are thought to be cardioprotective because of their structural similarity to estrogen. The reduction of concentrations of circulating inflammatory markers by estrogen may be one of the mechanisms by ... -
Soy-isoflavone-enriched foods and markers of lipid and glucose metabolism in postmenopausal women : interactions with genotype and equol production
Hall, Wendy L.; Vafeiadou, Katerina; Hallund, Jesper; Bugel, Susanne; Reimann, Manja; Koebnick, Corinna; Zunft, H-J. Franz; Ferrari, Marika; Branca, Francesco; Dadd, Tony; Talbot, Duncan; Powell, Jonathan; Minihane, Anne-Marie; Cassidy, Aedin; Nilsson, Maria; Dahlman-Wright, Karin; Gustafsson, Jan-Ake; Williams, Christine M. (2006-03)The hypocholesterolemic effects of soy foods are well established, and it has been suggested that isoflavones are responsible for this effect. However, beneficial effects of isolated isoflavones on lipid biomarkers of ...
