A component of soybeans thought to be a anticarcinogen.
An isoflavone found in soy products. Soy isoflavones are being studied to see if they help prevent cancer.
phytoestrogen that accounts for about two-thirds of total soybean isoflavone content.
An isoflavone, like daidzein, uniquely abundant in soyfoods; some of it is converted in the intestines to a compound that acts as a weak estrogen (phytoestrogen); the subject of hundreds of studies. Scientists believe it may be a significant anticancer force, particularly with hormone-related cancers such as breast cancer. It also may offer protection against cardiovascular disease by reducing blood clotting and/or cholesterol levels. Further, it may play a role in bone health and in relieving menopausal symptoms. See "Phytoestrogens."
One of the most studied of the soy isoflavone phytoestrogens.
Hormone-like substance in soy
A compound thought to protect you against cancer. It is found in soy based food products. It surpresses the production of stress proteins in cells, proteins that otherwise help cancer cells survive destruction by the immune system.
an isoflavone secondary metabolites, genistein is an important medicinal compounds having phytoestrogen activity. (see diadzein)
A compound thought to protect you against cancer. It can suppress the production of stress proteins in cells, proteins that help cancer cells survive destruction by the immune system. Can be found in soy based food products.
A phytoestrogen found primarily in soybeans that both mimics and blocks the action of estrogen in the body.
An isoflavonoid derived from soy products having antitumoral properties. It is one of the phytoestrogens along with daidzein. find all NHC pages containing: genistein
A soybean product being studied for cancer prevention. It belongs to the family of drugs called enzyme inhibitors.
One of the two primary soy isoflavones. Genistein is being studied for its ability to inhibit the growth of cancer cells. HDL cholesterol – See Lipoprotein.
Genistein is one of several known isoflavones. Isoflavones, such as genistein and daidzein, are found in a number of plants, with soybeans and soy products like tofu and textured vegetable protein being the primary food source. Soy isoflavones are a group of compounds found in and isolated from the soybean.
