Estrogenic activity of glycitein, a soy isoflavone.
Glycitein (4',7-dihydroxy-6-methoxyisoflavone) accounts for 5-10% of the total isoflavones in soy food products. The biological activity of this compound has not been reported to date, although numerous studies have been performed with the other soy isoflavones, daidzein and genistein. Glycitein was isolated from soy germ to 99% purity. Weaning female B6D2F1 mice were dosed with glycitein (3 mg...
متن کاملSoy and Isoflavone Estrogenic Activity
349 The potential health benefits of soy, and the soy isoflavones in particular, are widely publicized. Although soy and soy isoflavones exhibit both risks and benefits (1,2), in this article we focus on the thyroid toxicity of genistein. Genistein is the major isoflavone synthesized by the soybean; genistein possesses both estrogenic and goitrogenic activities. The claimed benefits of genistei...
متن کاملGoitrogenic and estrogenic activity of soy isoflavones.
Soy is known to produce estrogenic isoflavones. Here, we briefly review the evidence for binding of isoflavones to the estrogen receptor, in vivo estrogenicity and developmental toxicity, and estrogen developmental carcinogenesis in rats. Genistein, the major soy isoflavone, also has a frank estrogenic effect in women. We then focus on evidence from animal and human studies suggesting a link be...
متن کاملDetermination of the isoflavone composition and estrogenic activity of commercial dietary supplements based on soy or red clover.
Dietary supplements high in isolated isoflavones are commercially available for human consumption primarily to alleviate menopausal symptoms in women. The isoflavone composition, quantity and importantly their estrogenic potency are poorly standardised and can vary considerably between different products. The aim of this study was to analyse the isoflavone composition of 11 dietary supplements ...
متن کاملIsoflavone glycitein diminished plasma cholesterol in female golden Syrian hamsters.
The soybean isoflavones, daidzein, genistein, and glycitein, were hypothesized to act as cholesterol-lowering components, separate from soy protein. Pure synthetic daidzein, genistein, or glycitein (0.9 mmol/kg diet) or a casein-based control diet was fed to groups of 10 female Golden Syrian hamsters for 4 weeks. Hamsters fed glycitein had significantly lower plasma total (by 15%) and non-HDL (...
