Dietary Soy Isoflavones and Estrone Protect Ovariectomized ERαKO and Wild-Type Mice from Carcinogen-Induced Colon Cancer
(2004)Consumption of soy foods has been weakly associated with reduced colon cancer risk. Colon cancer risk is influenced by estrogen exposure, although the mechanism through which this occurs is not defined. Conversion of ...

Genistein inactivates bcl-2, delays the G2/M phase of the cell cycle, and induces apoptosis of human breast adenocarcinoma MCF-7 cells
(1998)The aim of this study was to identify the molecular mechanism of action of the isoflavone, genistein. Genistein at 0.15 mM caused MCF-7 apoptotic cell death, which was accompanied by cell cycle delay in the G2/M phase. ...

Genistein induces apoptosis and topoisomerase II-mediated DNA breakage in colon cancer cells
(2000)The present study was undertaken to determine if (a) genistein induces topo II-mediated DNA damage in HT-29 colon cancer cells

Genistein induces maturation of cultured human breast cancer cells and prevents tumor growth in nude mice
(1998)Results of recent studies in animal models of mammary carcinogenesis showed that the soybean isoflavone genistein is a chemopreventive agent. The objective of the present study was to determine whether soybean isoflavones ...

Induction of human adenocarcinoma cell differentiation by the phytoestrogen genistein is independent of its antiestrogenic function
(1997)The objective of the present study was to determine if genistein can induce human breast adenocarcinoma cell maturation. To gain understanding on its mechanism of action, we used estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) MCF-7, and ...

The soy isoflavone daidzein improves the capacity of tamoxifen to prevent mammary tumours
(2005)The aim of this study was to determine how the efficacy of tamoxifen is affected when combined with soy isoflavones. To address this, female Sprague-Dawley rats were placed on diets supplemented with tamoxifen, genistein, ...
