Consuming Genistein Improves Survival Rates in the Absence of Laxative in Δf508-Cf Female Mice
2018-08-04
Abstract excerpt
Genistein is a naturally occurring isoflavone found in soy. Mice homozygous for the ∆F508 mutation are characterized with severe intestinal disease and require constant laxative treatment for survival. This pathology mimics the intestinal obstruction (meconium ileus) seen in some cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. We therefore tested whether dietary supplementation with genistein would reduce the dependence of the ∆F5...
