Zhang Q., Feng H., Qluwakemi B., Wang J., Yao S., Cheng G., Xu H., Qiu H., Zhu L., Yuan M. Phytoestrogens and risk of prostate cancer: An updated meta-analysis of epidemiologic studies. (2016) also studied whether there was an association between different types of interventions and the reduction in hot flushes and night sweats [90]. Sansai K., Na Takuathung M., Khatsri R., Teekachunhatean S., Hanprasertpong N., Koonrungsesomboon N. Effects of isoflavone interventions on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. (2020) revised the literature to find randomized controlled trials that evaluated the impact of soy protein supplementation (isoflavone intake ranging from 49.3 to 118 mg/day) on endothelial function parameters in postmenopausal women (n = 802) [58]. In miso and tempeh, the aglycone form is the most abundant one [9]. Moreover, the number of publications grouping women according to pre- or post-diagnosis intake criteria is small. The effect of soy isoflavones on arterial stiffness: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Interestingly, in a study conducted by Tamura et al., the authors observed that in individuals without the LPH enzyme, the concentration of isoflavones and derived metabolites was similar to that found in individuals without an enzyme deficiency. The authors found a significant inverse association between isoflavone intake and both overall mortality and breast cancer recurrence. Furthermore, among the four studies of breast cancer recurrence, three studies found that isoflavone intake decreased the risk of breast cancer recurrence, although further studies are required to confirm this finding [82]. In: Thompson M.J., editor. Barnes S. The biochemistry, chemistry and physiology of the isoflavones in soybeans and their food products. However, the authors suggested that more prospective cohort studies are needed to further investigate this association and that the quantity of isoflavone intake should be accurately measured because flavonoid contents in food can vary significantly. They found that the use of dietary isoflavones or supplements and extracts was associated with an improvement in hot flushes, but not with a reduction in the frequency of night sweats. and J.T. Isoflavones Biosynthesis, Occurence and Health Effects. Isoflavones are found in several vegetables, mainly in legumes (Fabaceae family) such as soy, white and red clover, alfalfa and beans [9,10]. Isoflavone glycosides have to be hydrolyzed to the aglycone form prior to its absorption by passive diffusion in the upper small intestine [28]. A significant 19% reduction of the risk was found at high concentrations of daidzein, but not at genistein or equol concentrations. Comparative efficacy of nonhormonal drugs on menopausal hot flashes. Moreover, Rienks et al. HRT: hormone replacement therapy, RCT: randomized controlled trial, VSM: vasomotor symptoms. With regard to the published meta-analysis, the studies included were restricted to randomized controlled trials. Produced metabolites appear in plasma at variable concentrations and can enter enterohepatic circulation [28]. The results indicated that the isoflavone intake decreased the ovarian cancer risk by 33%. Science is Knowledge Space & Physics The Effects of Moonlight May 22, 1858 Professor Piazza Smyth, the Astronomer Royal for Scotland, in his interesting account of a recent scientific. The Sun ruled our heart, blood circulation and spine, while the Moon had influence on growth, fertility, breasts, stomach, uterus and menstrual flow. As far as the mechanisms of action involved in the decrease in triglyceride concentration are concerned, it has been reported that hepatic lipase and/or lipoprotein lipase activity may be increased as a result of isoflavone presence. However, a limitation in this field is that there is still a great heterogeneity among studies. However, the results do not seem entirely conclusive, for there are discrepancies among the studies, probably related to their experimental designs. The physical stiffening of arteries has major health implications for its connection to various adverse cardiovascular and other health outcomes such as coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension or heart failure [66]. This difference could explain the slow effect of isoflavones in alleviating hot flushes. The authors found a statistical inverse association between isoflavone consumption and colorectal cancer risk in case-control studies, although not in cohort studies. Liu J., Yuan F., Gao J., Shan B., Ren Y., Wang H., Gao Y. (2017) carried out a meta-analysis of 143 case-control studies, where isoflavone intake was associated with endometrial, ovarian, and breast cancers [73]. Specifically, the time to achieve half of the efficacy was 11.6 weeks for soy isoflavones, while for the rest of the compounds, the onset time was near 0 weeks. The majority of the studies that used display stimuli, such as photos, 3D images, virtual reality, and videos of natural landscapes, confirmed that viewing natural scenery led to more relaxed body responses than viewing the control. (2016) published a meta-analysis of 13 case-control and four prospective cohort studies, where the results revealed that soy isoflavone consumption reduced the risk of developing colorectal cancer by 23% [79]. The conclusion was that isoflavones exerted little influence over bone mineral density and thus over bone health during menopause, although not all the studies observed the same effect. The same results were reported in another meta-analysis published by the same authors a year later (Li et al., 2016), when they compared the efficacy of several non-hormonal drugs on hot flushes, including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), serotoninnorepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), gabapentin, clonidine and soy isoflavones [88]. The .gov means its official. Additionally, Yan and co-workers, in their meta-analysis with a total of ten prospective cohorts and seven case-control studies (including 508,841 participants and 17,269 cardiovascular disease events), observed that the consumption of soy foods, but not that of isoflavones, was associated with a lower risk of total cardiovascular disease (including coronary heart disease and stroke) [57]. Further, Chalvon-Demersay et al. Heinonen S., Whl K., Adlercreutz H. Identification of isoflavone metabolites dihydrodaidzein, dihydrogenistein, 6-OH-O-dma, and cis-4-OH-equol in human urine by gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy using authentic reference compounds. Analysis of isoflavones in Foods. The most significant food source of isoflavones in humans is soy-derived products. Moonlight sonata. Valsta L.M., Kilkkinen A., Mazur W., Nurmi T., Lampi A.M., Ovaskainen M.L., Korhonen T., Adlercreutz H., Pietinen P. Phyto-oestrogen database of foods and average intake in Finland. The authors suggested that further studies grouping subjects by isoflavone intake or by the circulating isoflavone levels might enhance this association.

He X., Sun L.M. Conceptualization, S.G.-Z. Regarding blood pressure, inconsistent results were reported in three further interventional studies (n = 406 healthy, postmenopausal or obese participants aged 5079 years) either in diastolic or systolic blood pressure, after a supplementation with soy-protein. Rienks J., Barbaresko J., Nthlings U. These two associations were significant for postmenopausal participants. Consensus: Soy isoflavones as a first-line approach to the treatment of menopausal vasomotor complaints. Indeed, Kim and Je (2017) indicated that a high intake of flavonoids is associated with a reduced risk of mortality from cardiovascular diseases in men and women [56]. Lastly, Abshirini et al. The results showed that a higher regular intake of foods rich in isoflavones might potentially decrease colorectal cancer incidence. This result has implications for granivory and perhaps plant demography in invaded and restored coastal habitats. Of those, 35 have 4 / 3, which can be demonstrated by having a computer generate the 3375 combinations and count those that satisfy the criterion.Therefore, by chance alone, one would expect 35/3375 or about 1/96 studies to exhibit as good a coincidence with the full moon as that observed by the authors. It supports the evidence that isoflavones can moderately attenuate bone resorption in women with low estrogen levels, primarily at the level of the lumbar spine and the femoral neck. Thus, whereas Asian populations have an average isoflavone consumption of >30 mg/day, Western populations consume <1 mg/day [83]. Circulating isoflavone and lignan concentrations and prostate cancer risk: A meta-analysis of individual participant data from seven prospective studies including 2,828 cases and 5,593 controls. The Effects and Action Mechanisms of Phytoestrogens on Vasomotor Symptoms During Menopausal Transition: Thermoregulatory Mechanism. (2016) analyzed the effect of oral isoflavone supplementation on endometrial thickness in pre- and post-menopausal women, which is a biomarker for the proliferative effects of estrogens associated with an increased endometrial risk [72]. (2020) revealed that supplementation of soy isoflavones had a positive effect in reducing arterial stiffness, also known as the loss of arterial elasticity [59]. The four chemical forms of the three most abundant isoflavones. The lunar effect is a purported unproven correlation between specific stages of the roughly 29.5-day lunar cycle and behavior and physiological changes in living beings on Earth, including humans. Effects of isoflavones in menopausal symptoms. Before THE effect of light on plant life has been the subject of many scientific investigations. Lastly, Zhang et al. Hence, plants grow faster and healthier. Focusing on the overall intake of isoflavones in humans, several studies have reported varied results. By contrast, the total isoflavone amount is high in soy flour, protein isolate or edamame [19]. Association between Dietary Isoflavones in Soy and Legumes and Endometrial Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. He et al. The light of the moon also influences animals that are active in daytime. Nevertheless, this association was not shown when equol or isoflavones were consumed. Man B., Cui C., Zhang X., Sugiyama D., Barinas-Mitchell E., Sekikawa A. Gut bacterial metabolism of the soy isoflavone daidzein: Exploring the relevance to human health. Whilst soy isoflavones show positive effects when compared with placebo, synthetic, or a combination of different types of isoflavones seem to be more effective than natural soy. As in the previous study, the onset of soy isoflavones was very slow in comparison with other non-hormonal treatments. Murota K., Nakamura Y., Uehara M. Flavonoid metabolism: The interaction of metabolites and gut microbiota. After the consumption of around 17 mg of isoflavones per day, the median plasma concentrations of genistein, glycitein, daidzein and equol were 245.3 ng/mL, 9.8 ng/mL, 86.8 ng/mL and 12.7 ng/mL, respectively. Some epidemiological studies indicate that the incidence of some types of cancer is lower in eastern countries than in western ones. Sulfation of the isoflavones genistein and daidzein in human and rat liver and gastrointestinal tract. (2017) also analyzed eight studies of prostate cancer, and they found an association between isoflavone intake and prostate cancer risk [61]. Implications of phytoestrogen intake for breast cancer. Lambert M.N.T., Hu L.M., Jeppesen P.B. Batterham T.J., Shutt D.A., Braden A.W.H., Tweeddale H.J. (2017) included 26 trials with 2652 participants [48]. In tropical climates meat which is exposed to the moonlight rapidly becomes putrid ; and in the Indies, the negroes who will lie sweltering and unoovered beneath the full glare of a tropical sun, carefully muffle their heads and faces when exposed to the moonbeams, which they believe will cause swelling and distortion of the features, and sometimes even blindness. Soy isoflavones osteoprotective role in postmenopausal women: Mechanism of action. In the same line, in European men, isoflavone concentrations did not affect the risk of developing prostate cancer. Importantly, the soy variety, environmental conditions of the culture and the processing of soybeans notably influence their isoflavone content [18]. (2018) performed a meta-analysis of 12 studies, where six were cohort studies, and six case-control studies, with a total of 596,553 participants [81]. For their meta-analysis, Jiang et al. Study duration ranged from four weeks to two years, with a median of 12 weeks. Lu L.J., Anderson K.E. Determination of total soy isoflavones in dietary supplements, supplement ingredients, and soy foods by high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection: Collaborative study. However, the intake of specific isoflavones, genistein and daidzein, was indeed significantly associated with a reduced risk of this type of cancer. Menopause is characterized by a decrease in estrogen levels and is often accompanied by a range of symptoms. The aim of the present review is to gather the scientific evidence existing nowadays on the main beneficial effects of isoflavones on health: bone health, cardiovascular risk, cancer and menopausal symptoms. In fact, in 2015, in relation to the possible adverse effects on the mammary gland, uterus and thyroid, the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) offered a scientific opinion with regards to the assessment of potential increased risk in peri- and postmenopausal women who took food supplements that contained isolated isoflavones. Modified from Mace et al. Urinary isoflavonoid excretion in humans is dose dependent at low to moderate levels of soy-protein consumption. The site is secure. They performed a separated meta-analysis for each of the interventions, including dietary soy isoflavones (including four studies), supplements and extracts of soy isoflavones (including six studies) and red clover isoflavones (including seven studies). Dead or dying trees are a common sight in areas effected by acid rain. It follows that additional high-quality, large-scale randomized controlled trials are needed. Similarly, Li et al. FOIA It is well-known that some of the most accurate BP readings occur right as someone wakes up and at that event, the BP will be shown for the most part to stay lower than that of a daily average. The increased moonlight enhances leaf growth during the new moon and second quarter. Kim Y., Je Y. Flavonoid intake and mortality from cardiovascular disease and all causes: A meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies. (2020) carried out their meta-analysis of 63 controlled trials, including 6427 postmenopausal women and concluded that isoflavones improve bone density at the lumbar spine, femoral neck and the distal radius in menopausal women [50]. Nevertheless, it is important to consider this metabolite since it is key in the biological activity of isoflavones [13]. (2016) published another systematic review of 23 randomized controlled trials to determine the effect of soy isoflavone extracts on bone mineral density in postmenopausal women [51]. (2018) published a meta-analysis of seven prospective cohort studies (two studies from Japan with 241 cases and 503 controls, and five studies from Europe with 2828 cases and 5593 controls) [75]. Acid rain leaches aluminum from the soil. In the aforementioned mechanism, it has been reported that isoflavones bind to both ER and ER, although they present a higher affinity towards ER receptors [7]. An official website of the United States government. Matulka R.A., Matsuura I., Uesugi T., Ueno T., Burdock G. Developmental and Reproductive Effects of SE5-OH: An Equol-Rich Soy-Based Ingredient. Another meta-analysis, conducted by Zhao et al. [(accessed on 21 September 2020)]; Messina M., Nagata C., Wu A.H. The light reflected off the moon has an effect on life on Earth, which isn't surprising, but not every lunar influence is heralded by a wolf's howl. Moreover, even though the binding affinity of isoflavones to the ER receptors is less than that of 17-estradiol, they can also act as estrogenic compounds when the endogenous estradiol is not available [8]. Bardin A., Boulle N., Lazennec G., Vignon F., Pujol P. Loss of ERbeta expression as a common step in estrogen-dependent tumor progression. Arjmandi B.H., Smith B.J. The authors studied all possible correlations between isoflavone consumption and the risk of breast cancer. Kov L., Dadkov K., Kaparovsk J., Kaparovsk T. Isoflavones. Perez-Cornago A., Appleby P.N., Boeing H., Gil L., Kyr C., Ricceri F., Murphy N., Trichopoulou A., Tsilidis K.K., Khaw K.T., et al. ; Funding Acquisition, M.P.P. Thus, the EFSA scientific committees opinion agreed that isoflavone intake was safe, at least in the doses that the analyzed studies have used. Altogether, these results show that further studies are needed in order to find stronger conclusions. For this purpose, 23 studies with 2167 patients were included in this meta-analysis, which showed that a daily dose of more than 54 mg could decrease the endometrial thickness in North American women, whereas the contrary effect was observed in the Asian sample. Chemical structure of 17-estradiol. Moreover, this association was more prominent among postmenopausal women than premenopausal women. Vlachopoulos C., Aznaouridis K., Stefanadis C. Prediction of cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality with arterial stiffness: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Received 2020 Nov 30; Accepted 2020 Dec 15. In their systematic revision, which included 1307 menopausal (n = 139) and post-menopausal (n = 1268) women, Perna et al. In general terms, caution should be exercised with the use of high doses of isoflavones in women with a family history of breast cancer [49]. In soybeans, the three most abundant isoflavones are present in four chemical forms: aglycone, glycoside, acetylglycoside and malonylglucoside (Table 1 and Figure 2). Thus, its consumption, according to epidemiological and clinical studies, has been postulated to be related to a decrease in the risk of different diseases. The authors indicated that no consensus was found regarding the protective effects of soy isoflavones (2080 mg) and equol (10 mg) on bone resorption. In this sense, the authors suggested that the composition of the gut microflora may influence isoflavone absorption and metabolism and could affect the production of isoflavone metabolites, which, in turn, could mediate their biological activity. This study was supported by Instituto de Salud Carlos III (CIBERobn) under Grant CB12/03/30007, Basque Government under Grant PA20/04 and the University of the Basque Country under Grant GIU18-173. The water in the ocean on the side of the Earth closest to the moon experiences a larger gravitational attraction than the water on the opposite side. However, the magnitude of risk reduction in Asian women was slightly larger than in non-Asian women (22% vs. 18%). Due to a decline in sunlight, the development of leaves . and J.T. Potential health adverse effects in the intake of isoflavones have been postulated due to their estrogenic activity, especially in relation to breast cancer. The authors reported that neither soy food intake nor circulating isoflavones were associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer. In contrast, the effects on bone resorption biomarkers were more favorable in overweight or obese women than in women with a healthy weight. All authors have read and agreed to the published version of the manuscript. van Erp-Baart M.A., Brants H.A., Kiely M., Mulligan A., Turrini A., Sermoneta C., Kilkkinen A., Valsta L.M. (2015) concluded that soy isoflavones have both a slight and slow effect in attenuating menopausal hot flushes [87]. Ko K.P., Kim C.S., Ahn Y., Park S.J., Kim Y.J., Park J.K., Lim Y.K., Yoo K.Y., Kim S.S. They are present in several vegetables, mainly in legumes such as soy, white and red clover, alfalfa and beans. Interestingly, soy protein isolate (void of isoflavones through alcoholic extraction during the protein solation phase) did not show these effects. and A.F.-Q. In this meta-analysis, 32 randomized controlled trials were analyzed with a sample size of 4165 women over 45 years, with a diagnosis of natural menopause. Their meta-analysis included five studies with a total of 728 menopausal women between 50.5 and 58.5 years old and concluded that women who are not able to produce equol could benefit from equol supplementation. However, a limitation in this field is that there is still a great heterogeneity among studies. In addition, several studies have observed that the urine excretion of daidzein metabolites is notably higher than that of genistein metabolites [44,45,46]. "It's not. This is mainly due to their potential adverse effects, which range from increased coronary heart disease to stroke and cancer [53,85]. Dietary intake of flavonoid subclasses and risk of colorectal cancer: Evidence from population studies. However, all the authors agree that further studies are necessary so as to confirm these results. Finally, it is important to mention that despite the fact that potential isoflavone adverse effects have been widely studied, little is known about the side effect of the bacterial metabolite equol. Isoflavones have received attention due to their putative healthy properties. . Jiang R., Botma A., Rudolph A., Hsing A., Chang-Claude J. Phyto-oestrogens and colorectal cancer risk: A systematic review and dose-response meta-analysis of observational studies. U.S. Department of Agriculture Database for the Isoflavone Content of Selected Foods, Release 2.0. Therefore, it is necessary to support these results with additional studies. EFSA Pannel on Food Additives and Nutrient Sources Added to Food (ANS) Risk assessment for peri- and post-menopausal women taking food su pplements containing isola ted isoflavones. Create your free account or Sign in to continue. The authors observed that soy isoflavone consumption was inversely associated with cancer deaths. Xu B., Chibber R., Ruggiero D., Kohner E., Ritter J., Ferro A., Ruggerio D. Impairment of vascular endothelial nitric oxide synthase activity by advanced glycation end products. This finding suggests that bacterial deglycosylation contributes significantly to isoflavone absorption [32]. Although the mechanisms of action of isoflavones are not completely understood, it seems that isoflavones not only reduce the rate of bone resorption but also increase the rate of bone formation. In fact, all the body fluids, as the tides, were controlled by the lunar phases. Neuroprotective effects of 17beta-estradiol and nonfeminizing estrogens against H. Endoh H., Sasaki H., Maruyama K., Takeyama K., Waga I., Shimizu T., Kato S., Kawashima H. Rapid activation of MAP kinase by estrogen in the bone cell line. The enhanced bone formation is due to the stimulation of osteoblastic activity mainly through (a) the activation of estrogen receptors because they bind to nuclear estrogen receptors and exhibit estrogenic activity due to its similarity to 17-estradiol, and (b) the promotion of insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) production [54,55] (Figure 4). In the last few decades, scientific evidence has stressed the importance of plants in the prevention and/or supportive treatment of a plethora of diseases, many of them chronic, age-associated disorders. For this reason, the results should be interpreted with caution, and more randomized clinical trials are required. ), 2CIBEROBN Physiopathology of Obesity and Nutrition, Institute of Health Carlos III, 01006 Vitoria, Spain, 3Bioaraba Health Research Institute, 01002 Vitoria, Spain. In a study reported by Ko et al., the authors quantified the plasma concentrations of daidzein, genistein, glycitein and equol in Korean men and women [36]. Isoflavone excretion occurs mainly through urine and feces, primarily in the conjugate forms, and up to 95% takes place in 24 h [43]. The two systematic reviews conclude that isoflavones have an important role in reducing hot flushes [52,53], although some observations need to be pointed out. Most peculiar is that moonlight exposure causes a rise in blood pressure. Indeed, they reported that an increase of 10 mg/day of soy isoflavones consumption was associated with a 7% lower risk of cancer mortality [62]. sharing sensitive information, make sure youre on a federal Acid rain also removes minerals and nutrients from the soil that trees need to grow. These positive effects were associated with 54 mg/day of genistein and 600 mg/day of synthetic isoflavone ipriflavone. Setchell K.D., Brown N.M., Lydeking-Olsen E. The clinical importance of the metabolite equol-a clue to the effectiveness of soy and its isoflavones. Regarding endometrial cancer, three prospective and five case-control studies were analyzed, which suggested a lower endometrial cancer risk associated with isoflavone consumption. Consequently, isoflavones can have estrogenic or anti-estrogenic effects [3]. For the development of this section, the meta-analyses and systematic reviews published between 2015 and 2020 were taken into account. Furthermore, isoflavones are able to inhibit aromatase activity, the enzyme that converts androgen to estrogen. Qiu S., Jiang C. Soy and isoflavones consumption and breast cancer survival and recurrence: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Isoflavone intake in four different European countries: The VENUS approach. That aluminum may be harmful to plants as well as animals. Rossi M., Amaretti A., Roncaglia R., Leonardi A., Raimondi S. Dietary isoflavones and dietary microbiota: Metabolism and transformation into bioactive compounds. PV panels have been linked . Overall, evidence regarding the use of isoflavones in cancer prevention suggests that they may be useful in reducing the risk of suffering from some types of cancer, such as breast and endometrial cancer, two of the types for which the association between isoflavone intake and cancer risk has been studied more in-depth.
