Effect of isoflavone on plasma nitrite/nitrate, homocysteine, and lipid levels in Turkish women in the early postmenopausal period: a randomized controlled trial
نویسنده
چکیده
Conclusions: Six months of treatment with isoflavones had a favorable effect on serum nitrites/nitrates, homocysteine and lipid levels in Turkish women in the early postmenopausal period. Although there is not enough evidence yet from large randomized clinical trials to make a recommendation about the use of phytoestrogens for prevention of cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal years, our results show that phytoestrogens improve the biomarkers of some cardiovascular risk markers in Turkish women in the early postmenopausal period.

Abstract Background: Most animal studies have shown that trans-10 and cis-12 isomers of Conjugated linoleic Acid, (CLA) tend to increase insulin resistance. But the effect of equal isomers of CLA (50:50 ratios of cis-9, trans-11: trans-10, cis-12 isomers) on lipid profiles, glucose, and insulin resistance and sensitivity in postmenopausal women is not clear. Methods: In the present study, ...
