Genetic mapping of a new set of microsatellite markers in a reference common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) population BAT93 x Jalo EEP558.
Mcm Grisi,Matthew W. Blair,Paul Gepts,Claudio Brondani,Paa Pereira,Rosana Pereira Vianello Brondani +5 more
TL;DR: A new set of 61 polymorphic microsatellite markers for beans and the construction of a genetic map using the BAT93 x Jalo EEP558 (BJ) population for the purpose of developing a reference linkage map for common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris).

Is Soy Consumption Good or Bad for the Breast
TL;DR: It is proposed that lifetime soy consumption at a moderate level may prevent breast cancer recurrence through mechanisms that change the biology of tumors; e.g. women who consumed soy during childhood develop breast cancers that express significantly reduced Human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 levels.

Legumes as Functional Ingredients in Gluten-Free Bakery and Pasta Products
TL;DR: The main chemical and functional characteristics of legumes and their functional application in gluten-free products are reported and it is reported that legumes have a positive impact on human health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genistein Affects ERβ- But Not ERα-Dependent Gene Expression in the Hypothalamus
TL;DR: The impact of the soy isoflavone genistein, a major component of the supplement, on estrogen-dependent female sexual behavior and ERα- and ERβ-dependent gene expression in the rat brain is examined.

Achievements and limitations of contemporary common bean breeding using conventional and molecular approaches
James S. Beaver,Juan M. Osorno +1 more
TL;DR: Genomic examination of complex traits such as adaptation to low soil fertility and tolerance to high levels of soluble Al in the soil using conventional breeding methods should help bean breeders devise more effective selection strategies.

Dietary Modulation of the Human Colonic Microbiota: Introducing the Concept of Prebiotics
TL;DR: By combining the rationale of pro- and prebiotics, the concept of synbiotics is proposed to characterize some colonic foods with interesting nutritional properties that make these compounds candidates for classification as health-enhancing functional food ingredients.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of dietary patterns on blood pressure were assessed in a clinical trial, Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, where the subjects were fed a control diet that was low in fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, with a fat content typical of the average diet in the United States.

Genistein, a specific inhibitor of tyrosine-specific protein kinases.
Tetsu Akiyama,J Ishida,Shinsaku Nakagawa,Hiroshi Ogawara,Shinya Watanabe,N Itoh,M Shibuya,Yasuo Fukami +7 more
TL;DR: Genistein inhibited the EGF-stimulated increase in phosphotyrosine level in A431 cells and scarcely inhibited the enzyme activities of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases such as cAMP-dependent protein kinase, phosphorylase kinases, and the Ca2+/phospholipid-dependent enzymeprotein kinase C.

Glycemic index of foods: a physiological basis for carbohydrate exchange.

TL;DR: The effect of different foods on the blood glucose levels was fed individually to groups of 5 to 10 healthy fasting volunteers, and a significant negative relationship was seen between fat and protein and postprandial glucose rise but not with fiber or sugar content.

Fruit, vegetables, and cancer prevention: A review of the epidemiological evidence
TL;DR: It would appear that major public health benefits could be achieved by substantially increasing consumption of fruit and vegetable consumption, and in particular in cancers of the esophagus, oral cavity, and larynx, for which 28 of 29 studies were significant.
