[HTML][HTML] Soy isoflavones—phytoestrogens and what else?
S Barnes - The Journal of nutrition, 2004 - Elsevier
The weak estrogen-like properties of isoflavonoids were discovered over 50 y ago. In recent
years, the overall effects of the isoflavones in soy on human health have been the subject of
lively debate largely based on their presumed estrogenic properties. Missing from our
knowledge base is the systematic identification of the cellular and biochemical targets of
isoflavones and the mechanisms that they influence. Because of the benign effects of
isoflavones on cellular integrity, a concentration of the isoflavones can be reached in cell …
