Emerging evidence of the health benefits of S-equol, an estrogen receptor β agonist

Abstract: Many clinical studies have been carried out to determine the health benefits of soy protein and the isoflavones contained in soy. S-equol is not present in soybeans but is produced naturally in the gut of certain individuals, particularly Asians, by the bacterial biotransformation of daidzein, a soy isoflavone. In those intervention studies in which plasma S-equol levels were determined, a concentration of >5-10 ng/mL has been associated with a positive outcome for vasomotor symptoms, osteoporosis (as measured… Show more

“…Moreover, dietary soy, where genistein, daidzein, and equol were detected in serum samples, increased mammary epithelial cell proliferation of human subjects (25). Therefore, the association between equol production and cancer risk in humans remains to be adequately characterized (8,26,27). Overall, benefits from soy intake are associated with ER (ϩ) breast cancer, and the effect of equol or soy isoflavones on ER (Ϫ) breast cancers or established aggressive breast cancers are not well understood (5,28,29).…”

“…Nem minden ember szervezete képes viszont az equol szinté-zisére. Az ázsiai országokban a populáció 80%-a, Euró-pában és Észak-Amerikában csupán a lakosság negyede equoltermelő, tehát az egyének között jelentős különb-ség van a metabolizmusban [20].…”

“…Later, phyto-oestrogen research extended to human medicine, particularly regarding the possible health benefits of the soy isoflavones glycitein, genistein, and daidzein and its metabolite equol. Currently, equol is the most studied isoflavone metabolite in human medicine (Lampe, 2010;Jackson et al, 2011).…”
