Soyfoods are a unique dietary source of isoflavones, which have both hormonal and non-hormonal effects relevant to prostate cancer prevention. In vitro, the main soybean isoflavone, genistein, inhibits prostate cancer cell growth; in animals, most but not all studies show isoflavonel rich soy protein and isolated isoflavones inhibit prostate tumor development. Currently, although only limited e...

During the past 20 years, a remarkable amount of research into the health effects of soy consumption has been conducted, which in large part can be attributed to the presence of isoflavones in the soybean. Isoflavones first came to the attention of the scientific community in the 1940s because of fertility problems observed in sheep grazing on a type of isoflavone-rich clover. In the 1950s, as ...

Many experimental but few epidemiological studies have suggested that soyfoods and their constituents have cancer-inhibitory effects on breast cancer. No epidemiological study has evaluated the association of adolescent soyfood intake with the risk of breast cancer. To evaluate the effect of soyfood intake during adolescence, one of the periods that breast tissue is most sensitive to environmen...

Many health benefits are attributed to soy food intake, but data on mineral balance arelimited. Our main objective was to determine the effect of soy foods intake for 10-wk on ironor zinc status in women of childbearing age. We also tested the effect on bone and thyroid hormones. Women (18-28 y) non-smokers without chronic disease, anemia, pregnancy,and/or irregular menstrual cy...

Bacilli with fibrinolytic activities were isolated from traditionally-prepared Meju and some of these strains showed strong antifungal activities. One isolate, MJ1-4, showed the strongest antifungal activity. MJ1-4 and other isolates were identified as B. amyloliquefaciens strains by recA gene sequencing and RAPD-PCR results. B. amyloliqufaciens MJ1-4 efficiently inhibited an Aspergillus spp.-p...

22 Journal of Plant Registrations, Vol. 3, No. 1, January 2009 ‘N8101’ soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] (Reg. No. CV-498, PI 654355) was developed using conventional breeding methods from a cross of a small-seeded germ plasm NC114 and the small-seeded cultivar N7101. An F3–derived selection, N8101 was tested as NTC02AXB-717 in multiple environments in North Carolina and the southeastern United ...
