Mechanism for the suppression of the mammalian stress response by genistein, an anticancer phytoestrogen from soy.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Soy products contain high levels of genistein, a phytoestrogen that is a potent inhibitor of cell proliferation and angiogenesis. Genistein has been found to inhibit the growth of carcinogen-induced cancers in rats and human leukemia cells transplanted into mice. The induction of stress proteins (e.g., glucose-related proteins and heat shock proteins) in tumor cells has been shown to protect them...
