Abstract: Objective: To systematically review the effect of dietary isoflavones or soy protein on the blood lipid levels, namely total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and triglycerides (TG) in healthy postmenopausal women. Methods: A literature search was conducted through PubMed and MEDLINE database to locate studies in English on randomized controlled trials with isoflavones or soy diet interventions on healthy postmenopausal women. Quality assessment criteria were based on the CONSORT statement. Result: 15 studies with a total of 2008 healthy female participants were included in this systematic review. Interventions of soy diets and isoflavones resulted in inconsistent effects on blood lipid levels in postmenopausal women. Only 6 studies showed significant changes in lowering levels of TC, LDL-C or TG, or increasing levels of HDL-C. Conclusion: Overall, the clinical benefits of isoflavones and soy diets alone on blood lipid levels are inconclusive. Further systematic reviews and meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials are needed to evaluate whether isoflavones or soy diet are effective for the prevention of cardiovascular disease among postmenopausal women. Subjects: Isoflavones Blood lipids Menopause

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evidence indicates that oxidative stress increases and oxidative defense status decreases after menopause, contributing to the rise in cardiovascular disease (CVD). Soy protein consumption is increasing due to its purported protective effects on disease. Isoflavones from soybeans have been shown to lower circulating lipids and lipoproteins and may also possess antioxidant properties. Phytate, another component of soy protein, may also offer health benefits, mainly due to its antioxidant properties. The purpose of this study was to determine whether soy protein components, isoflavones and phytate, would reduce the risk of CVD in postmenopausal women. In a double-blind study, 55 postmenopausal women were randomly assigned to 1 of 4 soy protein isolate (SPI) treatments: low phytate, low isoflavone (LP/LI); normal phytate, low isoflavone (NP/LI); low phytate, normal isoflavone (LP/NI); or normal phytate, normal isoflavone (NP/NI). Subjects consumed 40 g soy protein per day for 6 weeks. Blood lipids (total cholesterol [TC], low-density lipoprotein cholesterol [LDL-C], high-density lipoprotein cholesterol [HDL-C], triacylglycerol [TG]) and oxidative stress indices (protein carbonyls [PC], oxidized low-density lipoprotein [oxLDL], and 8-iso-prostglandin-F2[subscript [alpha]] [PGF2[subscript [alpha]]]) were measured at baseline and week 6. Although the normal-isoflavone treatments showed a marginal effect on oxLDL, there was no overall significant effect on oxidative stress indicators. Both treatment groups consuming normal isoflavone levels showed a significant decrease in TC (p

This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soy milk is rich in Isoflavones content and it has been claimed to relieve many of the symptoms related to menopause. In this study the effect of soy milk (Isoflavones) on CRP and Hcy were explored in response to intake of soy milk. It was an un-blinded open ended trial where 36 women, under a randomized cross-over design. Serum glucose (p=0.009), triglycerides (p=0.008) and NEFA (p=0.013) were significantly lower at endpoint compared to the baseline values. On logistic regression analysis with CRP as the dependent variable and age, BMI, WHR, lipid profile and HOMA%B as the independent variables, there was a significant negative association between CRP and HOMA%B [ =-0.352 (95% CI: -0.021-

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dietary changes are part of strategies used in the management of cholesterol, and can be of particular interest in postmenopausal women at higher risk of developing CVD. Milk fat naturally contains polar lipids rich in sphingomyelin. Convincing pre-clinical evidence suggested the potential health benefits of milk polar lipids (MPL), especially on cholesterol metabolism. In humans, however, MPL effects have been rather inconsistent and the underlying mechanisms remain poorly described. We hypothesized that isolipidic enrichment of the diet with MPL may improve the cardiovascular risk factors of postmenopausal women and MPL effects may be mediated in part by reduced intestinal cholesterol absorption. In a double-blind randomized controlled trial, 58 postmenopausal women were subjected to a 4-week intervention with daily consumption of a cream-cheese containing 0g (control, n=19), 3g (n=19) or 5g (n=20) of MPL. Blood and fecal samples were collected before and after each intervention. Fasting blood lipids and associated cardiometabolic markers were measured in all women and fecal lipids including coprostanol (a gut-derived metabolite of cholesterol) were analysed in subgroups (n=7-9 per group). A proof-of-concept mechanistic crossover study was also carried out in 4 ileostomy subjects who performed 8-h postprandial metabolic explorations after consuming 0g-, 3g- or 5g-MPL enriched cheese labelled with 2H-cholesterol. Tracer enrichment was measured in plasma and chylomicrons by GC-IRMS. Cholesterol and sphingomyelin molecular species were measured in the 8-h ileal efflux by ESI-MS-MS. Compared with control, supplementation with 5g of MPL induced significant reductions in serum total cholesterol (-6.8%, P

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decade there has been a major sea change in the way disease is diagnosed and investigated due to the advent of high throughput technologies, such as microarrays, lab on a chip, proteomics, genomics, lipomics, metabolomics etc. These advances have enabled the discovery of new and novel markers of disease relating to autoimmune disorders, cancers, endocrine diseases, genetic disorders, sensory damage, intestinal diseases etc. In many instances these developments have gone hand in hand with the discovery of biomarkers elucidated via traditional or conventional methods, such as histopathology or clinical biochemistry. Together with microprocessor-based data analysis, advanced statistics and bioinformatics these markers have been used to identify individuals with active disease or pathology as well as those who are refractory or have distinguishing pathologies. New analytical methods that have been used to identify markers of disease and is suggested that there may be as many as 40 different platforms. Unfortunately techniques and methods have not been readily transferable to other disease states and sometimes diagnosis still relies on single analytes rather than a cohort of markers. There is thus a demand for a comprehensive and focused evidenced-based text and scientific literature that addresses these issues. Hence the formulation of Biomarkers in Disease. The series covers a wide number of areas including for example, nutrition, cancer, endocrinology, cardiology, addictions, immunology, birth defects, genetics, and so on. The chapters are written by national or international experts and specialists.
