Background
Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are inherited metabolic disorders caused by mutations leading to dysfunction of one of enzymes involved in degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). Due to their impaired degradation, GAGs accumulate in cells of patients, which results in dysfunction of tissues and organs. Substrate reduction therapy is one of potential treatment of these diseases. It was demonstrated previously that genistein (4', 5, 7-trihydroxyisoflavone) inhibits synthesis and reduces levels of GAGs in cultures of fibroblasts of MPS patients. Recent pilot clinical study indicated that such a therapy may be effective in MPS III (Sanfilippo syndrome). 相似文献2.
The objective of this investigation was to examine the pharmacokinetics of isoflavone concentrations over a 24-h period among healthy adults consuming either soy foods or soy isoflavone tablets at different doses. This randomized, cross-over trial was conducted with 12 generally healthy adults. The three phases of the intervention included isoflavone tablets at (1) 144 mg/day or (2) 288 mg/day and (3) soy foods designed to provide a calculated 96 mg isoflavones/day (doses in aglycone equivalents). Doses were spread out over three meals per day. After 6 days on each study phase, plasma isoflavone concentrations were determined on the seventh day at 0, 4, 8, 10, 12 and 24 h. Average levels of total isoflavone concentrations at 8, 10 and 12 h were >4 micromol/L for the soy food phase and for the higher dose tablet phase. Genistein concentrations were higher overall in the soy food vs. both the lower and the higher dose supplement phases of the study (P<.05). When comparing plasma concentrations for the two doses of tablets, saturation appeared more evident for genistein than for daidzein at the higher dose level. In conclusion, we observed important differences in the pharmacokinetics of genistein and daidzein contrasting the sources and doses of isoflavones when administered three times daily, including a possible advantage for increasing serum concentrations of isoflavones from consuming soy foods relative to isoflavone supplements. 相似文献

Lack of unequivocal markers for assessment of therapeutic effects of treatment procedures is a common problem, but it is especially pronounced in genetic diseases. One of them is Sanfilippo disease (mucopolysaccharidosis type III, or MPS III). Changes in hair morphology have already been reported as one of characteristic and easily detected symptoms of this disease and other mucopolysaccharidoses. This feature has been used previously to monitor efficacy of gene expression-targeted isoflavone therapy (GET IT) in pilot clinical studies performed with low number of patients. Here, we studied changes in hair morphology, observed by using scanning electron microscopy, in 35 patients subjected to GET IT for one year at doses of 5 and 15 mg/kg/day. We have observed statistically significant correction of hair morphology in both groups of patients, corroborating results of earlier studies with low number of patients that suggested easily observable improvement in this parameter during different therapies of MPS. Since the improvement was evident in both previous reports and this study, we propose that analysis of hair morphology may be considered as a non-invasive method in monitoring effects of treatment on somatic symptoms of Sanfilippo disease patients. 相似文献

Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) are inherited metabolic diseases from the group of lysosomal storage disorders (LSD). They are caused by genetic defects resulting in the absence or severe deficiency in one of lysosmal hydrolases involved in degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAG). Partially degraded GAGs are accumulated in lysosomes, causing dysfunction of cells, tissues and organs. Last years did bring some breakthrough discoveries, which were important to understand biochemical mechanisms of MPS appearance and course, as well as to develop therapeutic procedures for these inherited metabolic disorders. 相似文献

Epidemiological studies have associated high soy intake with a lowered risk for certain hormone-dependent diseases. Soy and soy foods are rich sources of isoflavones, which have been shown to possess several biological activities. In this study, the metabolism of soy isoflavones daidzein, genistein and glycitein was investigated in human subjects. The aim was to find and identify urinary phase I metabolites of isoflavones, which have an intact isoflavonoid skeleton, and which might possess some bioactivity. Six volunteers included three soy bars per day into their normal western diet for a 2-week period. Daily urine samples were collected before, and after the supplementation period. Urine samples were hydrolyzed with Helix pomatia, extracted with diethyl ether, purified with Sephadex LH-20 chromatography, and analyzed as trimethylsilyl derivatives using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The structures of the isoflavone metabolites were identified using authentic reference compounds. The metabolites, for which authentic reference compounds were not available, were identified by the interpretation of mass spectra. Several new isoflavone metabolites were identified, and the presence of previously reported metabolites confirmed. The metabolic pathways of daidzein, genistein and glycitein are presented on the basis of the identification of the metabolites in human urine after soy supplementation. 相似文献

Soy isoflavones and cognitive function 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
There is growing interest in the physiological functions of soy isoflavones, especially in whether they affect cognitive function and have beneficial effects on neurodegenerative diseases. Here we review the recent evidence from clinical and experimental studies supporting a role for soy isoflavones in cognitive function. Soy isoflavones may mimic the actions and functions of estrogens on brain, and they have been shown to have positive effects on the cognitive function in females; however, studies on their effects on spatial memory have not provided consistent results in males. Although data from humans, cultures, and animal models are currently insufficient for elucidating the metabolism of soy isoflavone actions on cognitive function and the nervous system, we suggest two putative pathways; (1) an estrogen receptor-mediated pathway and (2) via the inhibition of tyrosine kinase, in particular by genistein, which is one of the soy isoflavones. Although soy isoflavones appear to have a positive effect on brain function, further research is needed to determine not only the efficacy but also the safety of soy isoflavones on the nervous system and cognitive function. 相似文献

Soy phytoestrogens, isoflavones, are a primary class of plant-based estrogen alternatives being sold over the counter nowadays. Genistein, daidzein and glycitein are the major isoflavones found in soybeans, as aglycones and glycosides. Each isoflavone shows distinctive estrogenic activity and pharmacokinetics. Soy dry extracts, employed as pharmaceutical raw material for manufacturing isoflavone supplements, are standardized to contain 40% of total isoflavones, but the amount of each isoflavone is highly diverse. The influence of these compositional differences on the estrogenic potency of soy extracts was evaluated by uterotrophic bioassay. Five commercial samples of standardized soy dry extract, homogeneously suspended in arachis oil, were administered per os in serial doses (125-4150 mg/kg bw/day) to immature female rats for 3 days. Soy extract samples with considerable diversity in isoflavone composition revealed different estrogenic potencies. Our results indicate a need of standardization of the individual isoflavone content in soy extracts. 相似文献

A decrease of erythrocyte membrane fluidity can contribute to the pathophysiology of hypertension. Soy products, which are
used as alternative therapeutics in some cardiovascular conditions, contain various isoflavones (genistein, daidzein, and
their glucosides, genistin and daidzin), which can incorporate cellular membrane and change its fluidity. The aim of this
study was to examine the effects of soy extract (which generally corresponds to the soy products of isoflavone composition)
on erythrocyte membrane fluidity at graded depths. We used electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy and fatty acid spin
probes (5-DS and 12-DS), the spectra of which are dependent on membrane fluidity. After being treated with soy extract, erythrocytes
showed a significant (P = 0.016) decrease of membrane fluidity near the hydrophilic surface, while there were no significant changes of fluidity
in deeper hydrophobic membrane regions. These results suggest that soy products containing high levels of genistein and isoflavone
glucosides may not be suitable for use in hypertension because they decrease erythrocyte membrane fluidity. 相似文献

If soy isoflavones are to be effective in preventing or treating a range of diseases, they must be bioavailable, and thus understanding factors which may alter their bioavailability needs to be elucidated. However, to date there is little information on whether the pharmacokinetic profile following ingestion of a defined dose is influenced by the food matrix in which the isoflavone is given or by the processing method used. Three different foods (cookies, chocolate bars and juice) were prepared, and their isoflavone contents were determined. We compared the urinary and serum concentrations of daidzein, genistein and equol following the consumption of three different foods, each of which contained 50 mg of isoflavones. After the technological processing of the different test foods, differences in aglycone levels were observed. The plasma levels of the isoflavone precursor daidzein were not altered by food matrix. Urinary daidzein recovery was similar for all three foods ingested with total urinary output of 33-34% of ingested dose. Peak genistein concentrations were attained in serum earlier following consumption of a liquid matrix rather than a solid matrix, although there was a lower total urinary recovery of genistein following ingestion of juice than that of the two other foods. 相似文献

Isoflavones are widely used as an alternative treatment to hormone replacement therapy and also for prevention of several chronic diseases, including cancers. Genistein, daidzein and glycitein are the most abundant isoflavone aglycones found in soy extracts, where they also occur as glycosides. This paper describes the development and validation of an isocratic reversed-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) method for the analysis of isoflavone aglycones, released after acid hydrolysis of soy dry extracts, used as pharmaceutical raw material. The quantification was carried out in a C(18) endcapped column, using a mobile phase composed of 0.1% acetic acid and methanol (52:48), at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min and diode array detection (DAD) at 254 nm. The method showed to be linear (r(2)>0.99), precise (R.S.D.<2%), accurate (recovery of 98.88% for daidzein and 98.12% for genistein), robust and specific. 相似文献

Despite their medicinal, pharmaceutical, and nutritional importance of isoflavones, the genetic basis controlling the amounts of isoflavones in soybean seeds is still not well understood. The main obstacle is the great variability in the content of isoflavone in seeds harvested from different environments. In this study, quantitative trait loci (QTL) for the content of different isoflavones including daidzein, genistein, and glycitein were investigated in a population of recombinant inbred lines derived from the cross of “Hwangkeum” (Glycine max) by “IT182932” (Glycine soja). Seeds analyzed were harvested in three different experimental environments. QTL analyses for isoflavone content were conducted by composite interval mapping across a genomewide genetic map. Two major QTL were mapped to soybean chromosomes 5 and 8, which were designated QDZGT1 and QDZGT2, respectively. Both loci have not been previously reported in other isoflavone sources. The results from this study will be useful in cloning genes that can control the contents of isoflavones in soybean and for the development of soybean lines containing a high or low isoflavone content. 相似文献

Dietary isoflavones from soy are suggested to protect endothelial cells from damaging effects of endothelial stressors and thereby to prevent atherosclerosis. In search of the molecular targets of isoflavone action, we analyzed the effects of the major soy isoflavone, genistein, on changes in protein expression levels induced by the endothelial stressor homocysteine (Hcy) in EA.hy 926 endothelial cells. Proteins from cells exposed for 24 h to 25 microM Hcy alone or in combination with 2.5 microM genistein were separated by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and those with altered spot intensities were identified by peptide mass fingerprinting. Genistein reversed Hcy-induced changes of proteins involved in metabolism, detoxification, and gene regulation; and some of those effects can be linked functionally to the antiatherosclerotic properties of the soy isoflavone. Alterations of steady-state levels of cytoskeletal proteins by genistein suggested an effect on apoptosis. As a matter of fact genistein caused inhibition of Hcy-mediated apoptotic cell death as indicated by inhibition of DNA fragmentation and chromatin condensation. In conclusion, proteome analysis allows the rapid identification of cellular target proteins of genistein action in endothelial cells exposed to the endothelial stressor Hcy and therefore enables the identification of molecular pathways of its antiatherosclerotic action. 相似文献

Dietary isolated soy protein (ISP, containing approximately equal amounts of daidzein and genistein), ethanol-extracted ISP (ISP (-)), soygerm or soygerm extract (containing large amounts of daidzein and glycitein and little genistein) and the isoflavone, daidzein, were hypothesized to lessen plasma cholesterol in comparison with casein. Sixty male and 60 female golden Syrian hamsters (6-8 weeks of age) were randomly assigned to six treatments fed for 10 weeks. Four of the experimental diets (ISP, daidzein, soygerm, and soygerm extract) contained 1.3 mmol total isoflavones/kg. The ISP (-) diet contained 0.013 mmol isoflavone/kg, whereas the casein diet contained no isoflavones. Hamsters fed ISP, ISP (-), daidzein, soygerm, and soygerm extract had significantly less plasma total cholesterol (by 16%-28%), less non-HDL cholesterol (by 15%-50%) and less non-HDL/HDL cholesterol ratios compared with hamsters fed casein (P < 0.01). For male hamsters, there were no differences among treatments in plasma HDL concentrations. Female hamsters fed ISP (-) had significantly greater HDL levels (P < 0.01) than females fed casein or daidzein. Triglyceride concentration was significantly less in hamsters fed ISP (-) compared with the casein-fed females. Because soy protein with or without isoflavones, soygerm and soygerm extract, and daidzein lessened plasma cholesterol to an approximately equal extent, soy protein alone, varying mixtures of isoflavones, and other extractable components of soy are responsible for cholesterol-lessening effects of soy foods, mainly due to their effects to lessen LDL cholesterol. 相似文献

Daidzein and genistein content of fruits and nuts 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Dietary phytoestrogens such as the isoflavones daidzein and genistein are thought to protect against chronic diseases that are common in Western societies, such as cancer, osteoporosis, and ischemic heart disease. In addition, there are concerns regarding the deleterious effects of hormone-like compounds, especially with respect to the development of infants. However, there is little information regarding the phytoestrogen content of foods, and therefore epidemiologic investigations of phytoestrogens are limited. As part of a study quantifying the consumption of phytoestrogens, the objective of this work was to assess the daidzein and genistein content of fruits and nuts commonly eaten in Europe. Eighty different fruits and nuts were sampled, prepared for eating, and freeze-dried. Daidzein and genistein were extracted from the dried foods, and the two isoflavones were quantified after hydrolytic removal of any conjugated carbohydrate. Completeness of extraction and any procedural losses of the isoflavones were accounted for using synthetic daidzin (7-O-glucosyl-4'-hydroxyisoflavone) and genistin (7-O-glucosyl-4'5-dihydroxyisoflavone) as internal standards. Of the 80 foods assayed, 43 contained no detectable daidzein or genistein, at a limit of quantification of 1 microg/kg dry weight of food. Nine foods contained more than 100 microg of the two isoflavones combined per kilogram wet weight, and 28 contained less than this amount. Currants and raisins were the richest sources of the isoflavones, containing 2,250 microg and 1,840 microg of the two isoflavones combined per kilogram of wet weight of food. Although fruits and nuts are not as rich in isoflavone phytoestrogens as are soy and other legumes, this is the first documentation of levels of daidzein and genistein occurring in these foods. 相似文献

A mixture of isoflavones was obtained by acid hydrolysis of isoflavone glycosides isolated from the products of soybean processing by a successive extraction with aqueous acetone and methanol. Homogeneous isoflavones genistein and daidzein were isolated from the aglycone mixture by adsorption chromatography and identified by spectral and chromatographic methods. The effect of both isoflavones on lipid peroxidation of soy phospholipids in multilamellar vesicles was studied at various concentrations. These aglycones were found to inhibit the formation of lipid hydroperoxides and malonic dialdehyde at the concentrations as low as 1 mM. 相似文献

The effects of the soy isoflavones, genistein, daidzein and equol, on experimental colitis were examined. Equol severely perpetrated dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis as evaluated by the weight loss. Production of the anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-10, from T cells was decreased in the equol-treated mice. The results show that the soy isoflavone, equol, played an important role in the inflammatory response in the gastrointestinal tract. 相似文献

Isoflavones form a group of plant compounds that occur mainly in legumes, soy being the most important source in human diet.
The high levels of isoflavones in the diet have been associated with a lowered risk for hormone-dependent diseases, including
breast and prostate cancers, osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. The metabolism of isoflavones in humans has been studied
to a certain extent, but detailed studies are lacking. This paper reviews the current knowledge on metabolism of isoflavones
and presents some preliminary results of a comprehensive soy feeding study, in which the phase I metabolites of soy isoflavones,
daidzein, genistein and glycitein, were identified by GC-MS.
