Legumes and soybeans: overview of their nutritional profiles and health effects
TL;DR: Nutritionists should make a concerted effort to encourage the public to consume more beans in general and more soyfoods in particular to reduce the risk of osteoporosis.

A Comparative Study on Phenolic Profiles and Antioxidant Activities of Legumes as Affected by Extraction Solvents
Baojun Xu,Sam K.C. Chang +1 more
TL;DR: Investigation of commonly used solvent systems affected the yields of phenolic substances and the antioxidant capacity of extracts from 8 major classes of food legumes indicated that solvents with different polarity had significant effects on total phenolic contents, extracted components, and antioxidant activities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Meta-analysis of the effects of soy protein containing isoflavones on the lipid profile
Siyan Zhan,Suzanne C. Ho +1 more
TL;DR: The strongest lowering effects of soy protein containing isoflavones on total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triacylglycerol occurred within the short initial period of intervention, whereas improvements in HDL cholesterol were only observed in studies of >12 wk duration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diet, nutrition and the prevention of hypertension and cardiovascular diseases.
TL;DR: Sufficient knowledge exists to recommend nutritional interventions, at both population and individual levels, to reduce cardiovascular risk, and this requires coordinated action at the level of governments, international organizations, civil society and responsible sections of the food industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
The antioxidant and free radical scavenging activities of processed cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) seed extracts
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the antioxidative properties and total phenolic contents of two varieties of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) and examined the raw, dry heated and hydrothermal treated samples were extracted with 70% acetone and the extracts were freeze-dried.

Prolonged dietary protein restriction in diabetic nephropathy.
TL;DR: It is suggested that dietary protein restriction has a sustained beneficial effect on the course of diabetic nephropathy, if compliance to the diet can be maintained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chicken and fish diet reduces glomerular hyperfiltration in IDDM patients.
TL;DR: A normoproteic diet with chicken and fish as the only meat protein source decreases the GFR in the hyperfiltering normoalbuminuric IDDM patients, similar to that observed after an LPD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Turnover of very low-density lipoprotein-apoprotein B is increased by substitution of soybean protein for meat and dairy protein in the diets of hypercholesterolemic men
TL;DR: Administration of an all-plant protein diet significantly increased the fractional turnover rate of VLDL apolipoprotein B, even when no changes in V LDL ago B pool size orVLDL lipid concentrations were observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
7S globulin from soybean is metabolized in human cell cultures by a specific uptake and degradation system.
Maria Rosa Lovati,Cristina Manzoni,Alberto Corsini,A. Granata,Remo Fumagalli,Cesare R. Sirtori +5 more
TL;DR: The biological fate of 7S globulin from soybean in a hepatoma cell line (Hep G2) and in human skin fibroblasts (HSF) is examined to gain new insights into the 7S Globulin cell process, the final effect of which is an enhanced expression of the LDL-receptor.
