Putrescine, spermidine, and spermine levels were determined in normal brain and central nervous system-related tumor tissues obtained at operation from 50 patients. The biochemical data were correlated with morphological histopathological descriptions of the same tissues. There was little variation in putrescine levels in normal cerebral cortical tissue. Subcortical white matter had lower putre...

bone mass loss is one of the commonest menopause symptoms, resulting from cessation of estrogen production. compounds which have estrogen – like biological activity similar to “isoflavones” present in plants especially soy, may reduce bone loss in postmenopausal women, because as they are similar in structure to estrogens. this study, therefore, was undertaken to assess the effect of soy protei...
