Estrogenic flavonoids and their molecular mechanisms of action

Ryoiti Kiyama

Summary: Flavonoids are a group of phytoestrogens with physiological effects and ecological and social impacts. Despite the reported estrogenic activity of flavonoids in medical, environmental, and food studies, their molecular mechanisms of action have not been thoroughly reviewed.

Metabolomics profiles of premenopausal women are different based on O-desmethylangolensin metabotype

Cara L. Frankenfeld et al.

Summary: The study reveals the relationship between urinary ODMA concentrations and metabotypes, showing changes in ODMA metabotypes within different time points and among individuals. Influential metabolites include phenolic compounds, carnitine derivatives, fatty acid, and amino acid metabolites. These findings suggest that ODMA metabotype could serve as a marker of gut microbiome functionality and should be considered in precision nutrition initiatives.

Use of Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Modeling to Predict Human Gut Microbial Conversion of Daidzein to S-Equol

Qianrui Wang et al.

Summary: A PBPK model was developed to study daidzein and its metabolite S-equol. In vitro incubations of fecal samples allowed determination of kinetic constants. The study showed that S-equol, despite its higher estrogenicity, only contributed to a limited extent to the overall estrogenicity in human daidzein exposure.

Maximizing the Estrogenic Potential of Soy Isoflavones through the Gut Microbiome: Implication for Cardiometabolic Health in Postmenopausal Women

Lindsay M. Leonard et al.

Summary: Soy isoflavones, particularly (S)-equol, have been proposed as an alternative treatment for managing postmenopausal symptoms and improving long-term health. However, the lack of equol-producing bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract of over half of the human population complicates the interpretation of data collected from humans. Rodent models, which efficiently produce equol, also pose challenges in translating findings to humans. The development of model systems to manipulate equol production and control confounding factors is needed to determine the therapeutic approaches for maximizing equol production and improving the health of postmenopausal women consuming soy.

Endocrine disruptors on and in fruits and vegetables: Estimation of the potential exposure of the French population

Alexandre Lee et al.

Summary: This study discusses the health benefits of fruits and vegetables compared to fats, carbohydrates, and meats, and highlights the potential impact of plant protection products on their production. It suggests that the exposure to phytoestrogens in fruits and vegetables may be higher than that of plant protection products, and emphasizes the need to consider their endocrine effects.

The health effects of soy: A reference guide for health professionals

Mark Messina et al.

Summary: Soy is a widely debated topic in nutrition, and the contradictory research published over the past 30 years makes it difficult for health practitioners to advise clients and patients on soyfoods. This review aims to provide concise literature summaries and perspectives on various soy-related topics, serving as a tool for health professionals in discussing soyfoods with their clients and patients.

Potential Protective Mechanisms of S-equol, a Metabolite of Soy Isoflavone by the Gut Microbiome, on Cognitive Decline and Dementia

Akira Sekikawa et al.

Summary: S-equol, a metabolite of soy isoflavone daidzein, is the most biologically potent among all soy isoflavones and their metabolites. Its production capability differs between East Asians and Westerners. S-equol is inversely associated with cognitive decline and dementia, and it is also associated with various vascular pathologies.

Lunularin Producers versus Non-producers: Novel Human Metabotypes Associated with the Metabolism of Resveratrol by the Gut Microbiota

Carlos E. Iglesias-Aguirre et al.

Summary: We report the discovery of two metabotypes associated with resveratrol metabolism by the human gut microbiota: LUNU (lunularin) producers and LUNU non-producers. The LUNU-producer metabotype can sequentially dehydroxylate resveratrol to yield LUNU and 4-hydroxydibenzyl, while the LUNU non-producer metabotype lacks this ability. These metabolites were detected in the urine and (or) feces of the majority of volunteers, but around 26% lacked the corresponding enzyme activity. Both metabotypes possess a 4-styrylphenol reductase that converts resveratrol to its corresponding dibenzyl.

Metabolism of Daidzein and Genistein by Gut Bacteria of the Class Coriobacteriia

Sebastian Tobias Soukup et al.

Summary: This study investigated gut bacterial strains of the Eggerthellaceae family and the closely related Coriobacteriaceae family that are able to metabolize daidzein and genistein. Through in silico analysis, PCR detection, and fermentation experiments, it was found that certain bacterial strains can metabolize these isoflavones, shedding light on their metabolic pathways and providing new insights into the health effects of isoflavones.
