Genistein inhibits growth of B16 melanoma cellsin vivo andin vitro and promotes differentiationin vitro

Abstract excerpt

Consumption of soy products has been linked to a reduced mortality and morbidity from a number of cancers. Genistein, one of the principal soy isoflavones, has been shown to inhibit the growth of a number of tumour cell lines in vitro; however, a role of genistein in retarding tumour growth in vivo is less well documented. In this study, in addition to examining the effects of genistein on the growth of murine...
