Emerging evidence suggests that consumption or supplementation of foods rich in iso flavones may has a beneficial effect on obesity and glucose levels in animals and humans. It has been demonstrated that genistein, the main component of iso fl avones, could significantly reduce body weight and fat
OBJECTIVE
Studies have observed associations between the gut microbiome and obesity. O-desmethylangolensin (ODMA) and equol are gut bacterial metabolites of daidzein, a compound found in high amounts in soy foods. Approximately 80-95% and 25-60% of individuals harbor gut microbial communities
Phytoestrogens are nonsteroidal plant compounds with similar chemical structures to mammalian estrogen capable of mimicking the effect of estrogen in selective tissues. A diet rich in phytoestrogens is associated with a variety of health benefits including decreased risks for heart disease, breast
Correction for 'A diet containing high- versus low-daidzein does not affect bone density and osteogenic gene expression in the obese Zucker rat model' by Eric Rochester et al., Food Funct., 2019, 10, 6851-6857.
The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide. Obesity increases the risk for non-alcoholic fatty liver disease through adipokine dysregulation and inflammation. Previously, we have reported that a high-isoflavone soy protein isolate (HISPI) diet is associated with significantly heavier body
METHODS
Daidzein was recently reported to act like an activator of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) thereby enhancing differentiation of adipocytes. Although PPARγ plays a role in adipokine expression, it has not been well researched whether daidzein affects expression of
BACKGROUND
Non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice are regarded as being excellent animal models of human type 1 diabetes or insulin dependent diabetes (IDDM). This study investigated the beneficial effects of genistein and daidzein on IDDM, an autoimmune disease.
METHODS
Female NOD mice were divided into
OBJECTIVE
The lack of safe and effective treatments for obesity has increased interest in natural products that may serve as alternative therapies. From this perspective, we have analysed the effects of daidzein, one of the main soy isoflavones, on diet-induced obesity in rats.
METHODS
Rats made
Daidzein (DAZ), a dominant isoflavone in various natural products such as soybeans, has been gaining attention due to the beneficial health effects (e.g., protection against cancer and diabetes) of its metabolites. Our major hypothesis was that dietary exposure to the soy phytoestrogen DAZ could
OBJECTIVE
Obesity can be a considerable health concern for peri- and post-menopausal women. Evidence suggests an association between the gut microbiome and obesity. The study objective was to evaluate the association between being overweight or obese and phenotypic markers of having an overall gut
Circulating hormones are associated with mammographic density, an intermediate marker of breast cancer risk. Differences in circulating hormones, including estrone and testosterone, have been observed in premenopausal women based on their capacity to metabolize daidzein, an isoflavone found
Obesity is the excessive fat accumulation in human body leading to increases a risk of various chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, cancer and osteoarthritis. Several flavonoids are known to have lipolytic activity influencing lipolysis and adipogenesis in adipose cells. To
Obesity is a complex metabolic disorder linked to an increased risk of the most common and severe human diseases. Several flavonoids are known to have lipolytic activity influencing lipolysis and adipogenesis in adipose cells. In the current study, the inhibitory effect of various flavonoid
Adipogenesis is central to adipose tissue plasticity and lipid homeostasis. Regulation of adipogenic signaling by phytoestrogens has been implicated as a potential therapeutic strategy for obesity-related disease. However, it remains unclear how these compounds directly impact transcriptional
Soy isoflavones, particularly genistein, have been shown to exhibit anti-obesity effects. When compared with the isoflavones genistin, daidzin, coumestrol, genistein, daidzein, 6-o-dihydroxyisoflavone, equol, 3'-o-dihydroxyisoflavone, and 8-o-dihydroxyisoflavone, a remarkably higher inhibitory
