General description

Daidzein is an isoflavone present in soy. It regulates oxidative stress, angiogenesis, cell growth and apoptosis. Daidzein has antioxidant, antiestrogenic and antiatherogenic properties. It provides protection against osteoporosis.

Application

Daidzein has been used:
  • as a control to evaluate fertility in rats
  • to study its effects on ovarian cancer
  • to simulate in vitro antioxidant activity

Biochem/physiol Actions

Daidzein is a phytoestrogen that is suggested to play a role in preventing hormone-induced cancers. Arrests cell cycle at G1 in Swiss 3T3 cells.
Soy isoflavone daidzein protects against oxidative damage in liver cells induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA). Catalase and superoxide dismutase activity, down-regulated by DMBA, was restored by daidzein.
