Genistein and daidzein prevent diabetes onset by elevating insulin level and altering hepatic gluconeogenic and lipogenic enzyme activities in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice.
TL;DR: Non‐obese diabetic (NOD) mice are regarded as being excellent animal models of human type 1 diabetes or insulin dependent diabetes (IDDM).
Journal ArticleDOI
The antioxidant activity and free radical-scavenging capacity of phenolics of raw and dry heated moth bean (Vigna aconitifolia) (Jacq.) Marechal seed extracts
TL;DR: In this article, the antioxidative properties and total phenolic contents of Vigna aconitifolia were examined and the raw and dry heated samples were extracted with 70% acetone and the extracts were freeze-dried.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant potential of African medicinal plants
TL;DR: In this review, research on the antioxidant potential of medicinal plants of African origin between 1965 and September, 2004 is considered and accumulated evidence suggests that ROS can be scavenged through chemoprevention utilizing natural antioxidant compounds present in foods and medicinal plants.

An alternative approach to depigmentation by soybean extracts via inhibition of the PAR-2 pathway.
Christine Paine,Elizabeth Sharlow,Frank Liebel,Magdalena Eisinger,Shapiro Stanley S,Miri Seiberg +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that soymilk and the soybean-derived serine protease inhibitors soybean trypsin inhibitor and Bowman-Birk inhibitor inhibit protease-activated receptor 2 cleavage, affect cytoskeletal and cell surface organization, and reduce keratinocyte phagocytosis, implying that inhibition of the proteasing receptor 2 pathway bySoymilk may be used as a natural alternative to skin lightening.

Health Benefits of Soy Isoflavonoids and Strategies for Enhancement: A Review
Patrick McCue,Kalidas Shetty +1 more
TL;DR: The current state of knowledge concerning soybean isoflavonoids, their chemopreventive actions against postmenopausal health problems, cancer, and cardiovascular disease, and also biotechnology approaches toward the enrichment of soybean for is oflavonoid content are discussed.

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.

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.

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.
