Equol has been suggested to possess protective effects on bone. However, the underlying mechanism of osteoprotective effect of equol has not been fully understood. In the present study, we examined the effect of equol on tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) gene expression to elucidate a possible
Background: Human studies have demonstrated the beneficial effects of soy or isoflavones on bone metabolism. However, conflicting data remain. Equol is the intestinal metabolite of the isoflavone daidzein. The health benefits of soy are
OBJECTIVE
Tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) is a promising candidate for cancer therapy due to its selective ability to induce apoptosis of cancer cells. However, some cancer cells are resistant to TRAIL. Here, we demonstrated that treatment with TRAIL, in combination
Equol is a major isoflavone metabolite, and equol-producing bacteria have been isolated and characterized; however, fermentation has been performed with soybean-based products as substrates. Pueraria lobata has been reported as a plant with higher content of Estrogen deficiency has been well characterized in inflammatory disorders including neuroinflammation. Daidzein, a dietary alternative phytoestrogen found in soy (Glycine max) as primary isoflavones, possess anti-inflammatory activity, but the effect of its active metabolite Equol
OBJECTIVE
There has been increasing recent attention on the antioxidative capacity of equol. This study tested the effect of equol on oxidative stress induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and regulation of immunity in chicken macrophages.
METHODS
Chicken HD11 macrophages were challenged with LPS (100
The antioxidant and anti-proliferative biological effects of isoflavonoids are relevant properties to counteract the characteristics of many cutaneous diseases. This study uses ultraviolet (UV)B irradiation to induce inflammation in the mouse skin, as a model for some symptoms of cutaneous
OBJECTIVE
Inflammation and hyperlipidemia or dyslipidemia contribute to an increased risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Cardiovascular disease represents one of the major causes of premature death worldwide. The activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR) alpha,
Prostate cancer represents an ideal disease for chemopreventive intervention. Genistein, daidzein and equol, the predominant soy isoflavones, have been reported to lower the risk of prostate cancer. Isoflavones exert their chemopreventive properties by affecting apoptosis signalling pathways in
