This study sought to investigate the ameliorating effects of soy 11S protein on the impacts of alcohol consumption in rat hepatocytes and in reducing total cholesterol levels and total lipid levels in the serum. Liver histology and the clinically important enzyme markers (Aspartate Aminotransferase: AST and Alanine Aminotransferase: ALT) of rats, administered with both alcohol and soy 11S prote...

Meat, as an important source of protein, is one of the main parts of many people’s diet. Due toeconomic interests and thereupon adulteration, there are special concerns on its accurate labeling.In this study Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy combined with chemometrictechniques (principal component analysis (PCA), artificial neural networks (ANNs), and partial<...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to assess the independent effect of soy relative to common sources of animal protein and soy-derived isoflavones on blood lipids. METHODS AND RESULTS Forty-two subjects with LDL cholesterol levels > or =3.36 mmol/L were fed each of four diets in randomized order for 6 weeks per phase. Diets contained a minimum of 25 g animal protein or isolated soy pr...

low-fat butter is water in oil emulsion comprising a continuous fat phase including butter, emulsifiers and colorants and also a dispersed aqueous phase including water, stabilizers and proteins. in this research, by using protein components especially full-fat soy flour, a product were produced which has extreme similarity to ordinary butter and also has good organoleptic properties. water : b...

The influence of soy-protein diet on brain lipid peroxidation in female rats was studied using a tail-suspension model of weightlessness. The study tested the efficacy of diets containing 0% or 11.1% soy-protein in 4 groups of female Sprague Dawley rats that were maintained with or without tail-suspension for a period of 3 weeks. At term, the whole brain was removed, segmented, and analyzed for...

Background: Implantation is a crucial period determining the success of a full pregnancy. Endocrine disruptors such as phytoestrogens (PEs) were thought to adversely influence embryonic implantations. However, the mechanism by which they upset implantation was not fully elucidated. Aims: The effect of administering soy isoflavones on the implantation of Wistar ...

OBJECTIVE Several short-term trials on the effect of soy consumption on cardiovascular risks are available, but little evidence exists regarding the impact of long-term soy protein consumption among type 2 diabetic patients with nephropathy. To determine the effects of long-term soy consumption on cardiovascular risks, we measured C-reactive protein (CRP) and kidney function indexes among type ...

in this research, a mixture of mpc, wpc, smp, soy milk, margarine, butter and water was used for production of uf-feta cheese analogue.variables were mpc (8%, 9%, 10%), wpc (0%, 1.5%, 3%), soy milk (5%, 10%, 15%) and margarine (0%, 5%, 10%). chemical (total solids, protein, acidity) and sensory (color and appearance, aroma, texture, flavor, total acceptance) properties of samples were analyzed ...

BACKGROUND Clinical trial data and the results of a meta-analysis suggest a hypocholesterolemic effect of soy protein. The effect may be partially attributable to the isoflavones in soy. Few studies have examined the separate effects of soy protein and isoflavones. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine the effect of soy protein and isoflavones on plasma lipid concentrations i...

Dietary intake of soy protein is associated with reductions in plasma cholesterol. Isoflavones are thought to be active components of soy and responsible for the beneficial effects because of their structural similarities to estrogen. The purposes of this study were to determine if i ) soy protein or a semipurified soy extract, rich in isoflavones, is responsible for improving the lipid profile...
