It is unclear if phytoestrogens have any effect on male physiology, with conflicting results about the potential effects of isoflavones originating from soy. [1] Some studies showed that isoflavone supplementation had a positive effect on sperm concentration, count, or motility , and increased ejaculate volume.
A 2019 systematic review found that intake of soy and soy isoflavones is associated with a lower risk of mortality from gastric, colorectal, breast and lung cancers. [74] The study found that an increase in isoflavone consumption by 10 mg per day was associated with a 7% decrease in risk from all cancers, and an increase in consumption of soy ...
Isoflavone differs from flavone (2-phenyl-4H-1-benzopyr-4-one) in location of the phenyl group. Isoflavones are produced via a branch of the general phenylpropanoid pathway that produces flavonoid compounds in higher plants. Soybeans are the most common source of isoflavones in human food; the major isoflavones in soybean are genistein and ...
7. Soy Can Affect Fertility in Men. Soy has come a long way. Once dismissed as “hippie food,” today it’s a popular protein alternative for vegetarians and vegans.
Isoflavones are natural plant compounds that have been linked with a reduced risk of osteoporosis and certain types of cancer, including breast and endometrial cancer. Dietitian Amy Brownstein ...
Soy. Soy contains soy isoflavones, naturally occurring plant compounds that bind to estrogen receptors in the body. Soy, a phytoestrogen, acts somewhat like hormonal estrogen in the body, helping ...
Glycitin (glycitein 7-O-glucoside) is an isoflavone found in soy, and remains to various degrees in soy products like tofu, soymilk [1] and soy sauce. [2] Although glycitin has its own health associated properties (below), it can be transformed to glycitein by human intestinal flora by the action of beta-glucosidases.
Glycitein is an O-methylated isoflavone which accounts for 5-10% of the total isoflavones in soy food products. Glycitein is a phytoestrogen with weak estrogenic activity, comparable to that of the other soy isoflavones. [1] Glycitin (glycitein 7-O-glucoside) can be transformed to glycetein by human intestinal flora.
