Soy-isoflavone-enriched foods and markers of lipid and glucose metabolism in postmenopausal women : interactions with genotype and equol production
(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 ...
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
(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 ...
Soy-isoflavone-enriched foods and inflammatory biomarkers of cardiovascular disease risk in postmenopausal women : interactions with genotype and equol production
(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 ...
