This study tested the effect of isoflavone supplementation in addition to combined exercise training on plasma lipid levels, inflammatory markers and oxidative stress in postmenopausal women. Thirty-two healthy and non-obese... more
Background: Soymilk fermented by lactobacilli and/or bifidobacteria is attracting attention due to the excellent bioavailability of its isoflavones. We investigated the effects of fermented soymilk containing high amounts of isoflavone... more
Ipriflavone is a nonhormonal isoflavone derivative currently used as a bone-building agent for prevention and treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Ipriflavone was reduced at the hanging mercury drop electrode in buffers of pH 2-11... more
Context: Isoflavones may act as selective regulators in the prevention of various diseases. The most important source of isoflavones is the soy, from which different phytotherapeutics are elaborated of use in Ecuadorian population.... more
The comparative analysis of the stimulating effect of low molecular weight heterocyclic compounds, derivatives of pyrimidine, pyrazole, isoflavones, pyridine, oxazolopyrimidine, oxazole and plant hormones auxins IAA (1H-Indol-3-ylacetic... more
Three new isoflavonoids, 5,7-dihydroxy-2′,4′-dimethoxy-5′-(3-methylbut-2-enyl) isoflavanone (erycaffra A) (1), 5,7-dihydroxy-2′,4′-dimethoxy-5′-(2-hydroxy-3-methylbut-3-enyl)isoflavanone (erycaffra B) (2), and... more
An efficient analytical method utilizing high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)/evaporative light scattering detector (ELSD) was developed to isolate and quantify the two major soyasaponin aglycones or precursors in soybeans,... more
A time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TR-FIA), with europium labeled phytoestrogens as tracers, was developed for the quantitative determination of enterolactone, genistein and daidzein in human urine. The aim was to create a method for the... more
Crocetenone, a new rotenoid (1), along with five known compounds apocyanin (2), tectorigenin (3), 5,2',3'-trihydroxy-7-methoxy flavanone (4), tectoridin (5) and tectoridin glycoside (6), were isolated from the methanolic extract... more
It is common belief that soy supposedly increases estrogen and has negative health consequences on the human body. Is there any objective evidence supporting this bold claim? This paper will objectively analyse this statement; using... more
Both the motile zoospores and the hyphal germ tubes of Phytophthora sojae respond chemotropically to the soybean isoflavones daidzein and genistein. The role of Ca(2+) in the cellular response to these host signals was investigated by... more
Chemical investigation of a red-type Mexican propolis sample has led to the isolation of three new compounds,... more
Evidence suggests that soy isoflavones act as estrogen agonists and have beneficial skeletal effects, but the effects on calcium metabolism in humans are not known. This study tested whether soybean isoflavones, soy protein, or both alter... more
Two new compounds, an isoflavone (1, 6-methoxybarbigerone) and a bipterocarpan (2, pachylobin) were isolated from the grains of Millettia pachyloba (Leguminosae), together with seven known compounds, 5-methoxybarbigerone (3),... more
