High urinary isoflavone excretion phenotype decreases plasma cholesterol in golden Syrian hamsters fed soy protein.

Abstract excerpt

Apparent absorption of isoflavones varies greatly among individuals but is relatively stable within an individual. We hypothesized that high urinary isoflavone excreters would show less plasma non-HDL cholesterol (non-HDL-C) than low isoflavone excreters after soy protein feeding. Fifty Golden Syrian hamsters were fed a high-fat/casein diet (n = 10) or a high-fat/soy protein diet (n = 40) for 4 wk. We identified...
