Genistein and other soya isoflavones are potent ligands for transthyretin in serum and cerebrospinal fluid.

TL;DR: A potent competition of soya isoflavones for T4 binding to TTR in serum and CSF is underlined, which might alter free thyroid hormone concentrations resulting in altered tissue availability and metabolism.

Vegetarian Diets in the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes.

TL;DR: Clinical interventional trials demonstrated that vegetarian diets lead to a greater weight loss and greater reduction in fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c, blood lipids, and hypoglycemic medication than a conventional hypocaloric diet in subjects with type 2 diabetes.

Effects of high temperature stress at different development stages on soybean isoflavone and tocopherol concentrations

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that while isoflavone and tocopherol concentrations in soybeans are affected the most by stress occurring during seed formation, concentrations can also be affected by Stress occurring at other stages including stages as early as pre-emergence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mapping of angular leaf spot resistance QTL in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) under different environments

TL;DR: A quantitative inheritance pattern of ALS resistance in the common bean line CAL 143 indicated, which could be important for bean breeding, as it was stable in all the environments and the GATS11b marker is a potential tool for marker assisted selection for ALS resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of in vitro digestion on bioactive compounds and antioxidant activity of common bean seed coats

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of gastrointestinal digestion on black bean (BB) and small red bean (SRB) seed coats were evaluated in treated and untreated extracts with an in vitro digestion process.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genistein, a specific inhibitor of tyrosine-specific protein kinases.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
