Sentences with word «equol»

These effects were not seen in women, regardless of equol production or lack thereof.

These bacteria, which are present in 30 - 50 % of people, metabolize an isoflavone in soy calleddaidzein into an estrogen - like hormone called equol.

Isoflavones seem to have the strongest oestrogenic effect, and are converted by bacterial fermentation into a metabolite known as equol (so named because it was first discovered in mare's urine, in 1932).

The bad news: it only applies to the 20 to 50 % of women — those whose bodies produce soy metabolite equol, a US study shows.

Now, in the case of women, research suggests that soy is less likely to negatively affect your hormones, regardless of equol production.

In a study conducted by scientists at Peking University, researchers found that when equol - producing men ate high amounts of soy food for 3 days, their testosterone levels dropped and estrogen levels rose.

Because Equol binds directly with DHT, the 5 - Alpha Reductase enzyme is free to bind with other substances.

Development and Use of a Real - Time Quantitative PCR Method for Detecting and Quantifying Equol - Producing Bacteria in Human Faecal Samples and Slurry Cultures — Lucía Vázquez — Frontiers in Microbiology Food Microbiology

When women aged 45 to 55 suffering meno symptoms ate soy foods at least three times a week, high soy consumers who produced equol were 76 % less likely than non-equol producers to report above - average frequency of hot flushes and night sweats, researchers wrote in the North American Menopause Society's journal.

However, some subjects are unable to breakdown phytoestrogens and equol does not show up in their urine.

Some of the other flavonoids that have a mild inhibitory effect on CYP's include genistein, diadzein and equol from soy and the aflavins from black tea.

Unless, that is, the person consuming it happens to have bacteria in the gut that convert the compound diadzein into another one called equol, which might offer more bone protection than either of the soy isoflavones — or might not.

The assumption, of course, is health - conscious consumers will jump at the chance to buy premium - priced super eggs not only rich in phytoestrogens, but in the active form of equol.

In 2004, the researchers followed up with a study in Biochimica et Biophysica Acta.2 This time they reported the «good news» that they had not only found plenty of the soy isoflavone daidzin but the more active form known as equol «preferentially accumulated» into the egg yolk.

Elbek criticized the panel for rushing through the evidence of soy genistein's phyto - toxicity and for largely disregarding damaging effects caused by daidzein (metabolite equol) and glycitein, individually or in combination with other estrogenic endocrine disruptors.

In a study conducted by scientists at Peking University, researchers found that when equol - producing men ate high amounts of soy food for as little as three days, their testosterone levels dropped and their estrogen levels rose.

First, equol binds directly to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to prevent it from binding to receptor sites in the prostate.

Equol is a reliable indicator of isoflavone consumption: as a rule, the more plant oestrogen in the diet, the greater the amount of equol in the urine.

(Full disclosure: the study was sponsored by a pharma company trying to hatch an equol pill for menopausal symptoms.)

Included in the list of cabbage flavonoids are the following anti-inflammatory compounds: artemetin, betanidin, butein, equol, hydroxyflavone, kaempferol, luteolin, malvidin, naringenin, pelargonodin, purpurogalin, quercitol, and tetrahydrochalcone.

Equol is the only known molecule that can bind directly to DHT.

Equol's unique DHT binding ability makes it the only known molecule that protects the prostate without triggering the side effects that can be caused by enzyme - blocking products.

In 2004, the researchers followed up with a second study published in Biochimica et Biophysica Acta.2 This time they reported the «good news» that they had not only found plenty of the soy isoflavone daidzin but the more active form known as equol «preferentially accumulated» into egg yolk.

The assumption, of course, is that once again health - conscious consumers will jump at the chance to buy premium - priced super eggs not only rich in phytoestrogens, but in the active form of equol.

Scientists are still looking into why this is, but one promising line of research has found that some people have high levels of a certain type of intestinal bacteria that interacts with chemicals in soy to produce an estrogen - like compound called equol.

Exclusive to Nature's Sunshine, Equolibrium harnesses the power of equol, a powerful antioxidant that supports the prostate through a multi-faceted approach.

These compounds are further metabolized to equol, enterodiol, and enterolactone by intestinal bacteria [39].
