Use of Hydration, Germination, and α‐Galactosidase Treatments to Reduce Oligosaccharides in Dry Beans

TL;DR: In this article, N.N. J. M Nallapati et al. showed that the removal of stachy affinities resulted in 51% ± 3.9% reduction in total r eduction in total regressions in total regression in total reduction of total raffinose and stach affinose in total regaining affinoses.

Rebelling against the (Insulin) Resistance: A Review of the Proposed Insulin-Sensitizing Actions of Soybeans, Chickpeas, and Their Bioactive Compounds.

TL;DR: The proposed mechanisms of action for insulin-sensitizing actions of soybeans, chickpeas, and their bioactive compounds include increasing glucose transporter-4 levels, inhibiting adipogenesis by down-regulating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, reducing adiposity, positively affecting adipokines, and increasing short-chain fatty acid-producing bacteria in the gut.

Effects of a ferment soy product on the adipocyte area reduction and dyslipidemia control in hypercholesterolemic adult male rats.

TL;DR: The fermented soy product enriched with Enterococcus faecium and Lactobacillus Jugurti decreased circulating lipids levels and reduced adipocyte area in rats, and promoted important benefits such as reduced cholesterolemia in hypercholesterolemic diet group and the adipocyte circumference in both control and hyperch LDL-cholesterol diet group.

Comparison of renal function and other health outcomes in vegetarians versus omnivores in Taiwan.

TL;DR: The renal functions, in terms of the estimated glomerular filtration rate, were not different between the vegetarians and the omnivores, and these results were compatible with general concepts regarding diet of plant origin.

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.

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.

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.
