Biochemical Targets of the Isoflavone Genistein in Tumor Cell Lines
1 Jan 1995
Abstract excerpt
Dietary intake of soy is associated with a decreased risk of both hormone-dependent and hormone-independent cancers. It has been proposed that genistein, the predominant isoflavone in soy foods, is responsible for this effect. In this review, the potential mechanisms of action of genistein at the cellular level are critically examined to determine which are physiologically relevant. We concluded that (i) only...
