Soy protein and isoflavones: their effects on blood lipids and bone density in postmenopausal women

TLDR
The effects of soy protein (40 g/d) containing moderate and higher concentrations of isoflavones on blood lipid profiles, mononuclear cell LDL receptor messenger RNA, and bone mineral density and content were investigated in 66 free- living, hypercholesterolemic, postmenopausal women during a 6-mo, parallel-group, double-blind trial with three interventions as discussed by the authors.

Effect of estrogenic compounds (estrogen or phytoestrogens) combined with exercise on bone and muscle mass in older individuals.

TL;DR: Estrogen or soy isoflavones given to postmenopausal women results in a small increase in lean tissue mass that may be mediated through estrogen receptor alpha on muscle or through decreased inflammation.

Update on the epidemiology of osteoporosis.

TL;DR: This report provides an update on the epidemiology of osteoporosis and its associated fractures, with special attention paid to the rapid progress being made in the field of genetics, the growing importance of nutrition, and the new questions being raised as to the influence of hormonal factors on bone mineral density and fracture risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

The significance of soy protein and soy bioactive compounds in the prophylaxis and treatment of osteoporosis.

TL;DR: There is sufficient evidence suggesting soy isoflavones may have potential benefits for bone, but a cause and effect relationship has not been established between the consumption of ipriflavone and maintenance of bone mineral density in post-menopausal women, and it is too early to recommend it as a supplement.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dietary soy isoflavone-aglycone lowers food intake in female rats with and without ovariectomy.

TL;DR: This work aimed to examine whether the estrogenic property of soy isoflavones can affect food intake and body weight.

Single-step method of RNA isolation by acid guanidinium thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform extraction

TL;DR: A new method of total RNA isolation by a single extraction with an acid guanidinium thiocyanate-phenol-chloroform mixture is described, providing a pure preparation of undegraded RNA in high yield and can be completed within 4 h.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-Analysis of the Effects of Soy Protein Intake on Serum Lipids

TL;DR: It is found that the consumption of soy protein rather than animal protein significantly decreased serum concentrations of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides without significantly affecting serum HDL cholesterol concentrations.

Quantitation of mRNA by the Polymerase Chain Reaction

TL;DR: This quantitative PCR method provides a rapid and reliable way to quantify the amount of a specific mRNA in a sample of less than 0.1 ng of total RNA.

Estrogen replacement therapy and coronary heart disease: A quantitative assessment of the epidemiologic evidence☆☆☆

TL;DR: The bulk of the evidence strongly supports a protective effect of estrogens that is unlikely to be explained by confounding factors and is consistent with the effect of Estrogen on lipoprotein subfractions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Separation and quantitation of subclasses of human plasma high density lipoproteins by a simple precipitation procedure.

TL;DR: A simple precipitation method for the separation of HDL subclasses in human plasma found that HDL2 is the more variable component and may be a more meaningful index of altered HDL metabolism.
