We examined the combined effects of IGF-I and EGF on hyaluronic acid synthesis using cultured pericardial mesothelial cells from rabbit pericardial cavity. Combined exposure of pericardial cells to IGF-I and EGF cooperatively increased hyaluronic acid synthesis and the level of hyaluronic acid
Increasing epidemiological evidence supports the view that dietary flavonoids have protective roles in oral diseases, including cancer. However, the dietary forms of flavonoids, the flavonoid glycosides, must first be hydrolyzed to the aglycones, which is thought to occur mainly in the intestine. In
The interaction of pepsin with daidzein (Dai) or genistein (Gen) was investigated using spectroscopic techniques under simulated physiological conditions. Dai and Gen can quench the fluorescence of pepsin and the quenching mechanism was a static process. The binding site number n and apparent
The novel genistein (G) derivative, 6-carboxymethyl genistein (CG) was evaluated for its biological properties in comparison with G. Both compounds showed oestrogenic activity in vitro and in vivo. On the other hand G and CG differed in the following parameters: (i) only CG displayed mixed
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the effects of dietary genistein on the development of young rats.
METHODS
SD rats aged three-week were randomly divided into three groups according to their weight (eight male and eight female). Each group was fed a diet containing genistein at levels of 0, 20 and 100
Isoflavones are suitable guest molecules for inclusion complex formation with cyclodextrins (CDs). The molecular encapsulation with CDs results in a solid, molecularly dispersed form and in a significantly improved aqueous solubility of isoflavones. Genistein, a key isoflavone constituent of
Genistein is a high specific and noncompetitive inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor tyramine kinase domain (EGFR-TK). In the paper, a molecular docking between genistein and EGFR-TK was studied to explore the mechanism of their interaction and antitumor mechanism of genistein by AUTODOCK
In this work, the inhibitory effect of two isoflavonoids including daidzein and genistein on trypsin and their binding mechanism were determined by spectroscopic and molecular docking approaches. The results indicated that both daidzein and genistein reversibly inhibited trypsin in a competitive
The present study focuses on the synthesis and analysis of a genistein ester derivative with myristic acid followed by beta cyclodextrin encapsulation; physicochemical analysis using consecrated techniques such as FTIR, MS, DSC, and SEM revealed both a successful esterification and inclusion inside
Genistein (Gen), widely distributed in soybean, is proved to be important in homeostasis in the human body. Herein, the inhibitory mechanism of Gen against xanthine oxidase (XO) was studied through multispectroscopic methods and molecular simulation. The inhibition kinetics showed that Gen
Soy-based formula contains high concentrations of the isoflavone genistein. Genistein possesses estrogenic and tyrosine kinase inhibitory activity and interferes with cellular proliferation and development. To date, the acute and chronic effects of genistein on ovarian and uterine development have
Synthetic polymers of a specific shape and size play major role in drug delivery systems. Dendrimers are unique synthetic macromolecules of nanometer dimensions with a highly branched structure and globular shape with potential applications in gene and drug delivery. We examine the interaction of
In the present study we evaluated the complexation of daidzein/genistein/glycitein, present in an isoflavone enriched fraction (IEF), with β-cyclodextrin and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD). Based on the increased solubility and higher complexation efficiency, IEF and HPβCD solid complexes
Direct pulp capping involves the placement of dental materials directly onto vital pulp tissues after deep caries removal to stimulate the regeneration of reparative dentin. This physical barrier will serve as a "biological seal" between these materials and the pulp tissue. Although numerous direct
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChR) are pentameric ligand gated ion channels whose activity can be modulated by endogenous neurotransmitters as well as by synthetic ligands that bind the same or distinct sites from the natural ligand. The subtype of α7 nAChR has been considered as a potenial
