Chemopreventive effects of soy protein and purified soy isoflavones on DMBA-induced mammary tumors in female Sprague-Dawley rats
(2001)There are conflicting reports on the effect of soy and its components on mammary carcinogenesis in adult female rats, mainly because of different rodent models that are used in chemoprevention studies. The present study ...

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 ...

Efficacy of garbanzo and soybean flour in suppression of aberrant crypt foci in the colons of CF-1 mice
(2004)Background: Epidemiological studies have reported a low incidence of colon cancer in countries with high legume consumption. Moreover, experimental studies have found that legumes, such as soybeans and pinto beans, have ...

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 ...

Inhibition of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced mammary tumors in rats by the soybean isoflavones
(1996)Soy-based diets, rich in the isoflavones genistein and daidzein, are thought to protect against breast and prostate cancer. Soy-based diets, rich in the isoflavones genistein and daidzein, are thought to protect against ...

Isolation of isoflavones from soy-based fermentations of the erythromycin-producing bacterium Saccharopolyspora erythraea
(1997)A search for an abundant and economical source of isoflavones, particularly genistein, led to the discovery that the erythromycin-producing organism Saccharopolyspora erythraea also produces this promising new cancer-prevention ...
