Based on zinc uptake in chick tibia, Zn bioavailability in cooked ground beef was equal to that of Zn in an inorganic standard (ZnSO4), whether Zn supplements were added to a soy-concentrate diet containing phytate or to a phytate-free egg-white diet. With both diet types, total tibia Zn was a linear (P < .01) function of supplemental Zn intake from ZnSO4, but the slope of the linear regression...

Alterations in dietary protein intake have an important role in prevention and management of several forms of kidney disease. Using soy protein instead of animal protein reduces development of kidney disease in animals. Reducing protein intake preserves kidney function in persons with early diabetic kidney disease. Our clinical observations led us to the soy-protein hypothesis that "substitutio...

the increasing prevalence rate of breast cancer among asian-american women shows the more significant role of lifestyle factors in etiology than genetic factors. the search engine pubmed was used for searching related paper by “breast cancer”, “soy”, “isoflavones”, “phytoestrogen” as the key words. we selected papers which published during 1990 to 2012. various experimental studies reported the...

Soy protein-based formulas have been available for almost 100 years. Since the first use of soy formula as a milk substitute for an infant unable to tolerate a cow milk protein-based formula, the formulation has changed to the current soy protein isolate. Despite very limited indications for its use, soy protein-based formulas in the United States may account for nearly 25% of the formula marke...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Nephrotic syndrome is a chronic disease especially common in the childhood and adolescence. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and free radicals have significant role in the pathogenesis of nephrotic syndrome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of soy protein and genistein (main isoflavone of soybean) on renal antioxidant status of nephrotic rats. METHODS Th...

Soy protein is an important component of soybeans and provides an abundant source of dietary protein. Among the dietary proteins, soy protein is considered a complete protein in that it contains ample amounts of all the essential amino acids plus several other macronutrients with a nutritional value roughly equivalent to that of animal protein of high biological value. Soy protein is unique amo...

The replacement of animal with plant proteins in human diets has been increasing recent years. impact blending milk protein concentrate (MPC) isolates from soy (SPI), rice (RPI) and pea (PPI) on the vitro digestibility antioxidant activity resultant blends was investigated. Different protein–MPC (i.e., SPI–MPC (25:75), RPI–MPC (50:50) PPI–MPC (25:75)) were analyzed. lowest corrected amino acid ...
