An experiment clarifying the influence of food deprivation on the isoflavone conjugation pattern in rats was conducted. Food-deprived and fed rats were administered daidzein and genistein at 7.9 mu mol/kg body, and changes in their plasma metabolites (i.e., free compounds, sulfates, glucuronides, sulfates/glucuronides) were measured quantitatively as a function of time. In the food-deprived group, total plasma daidzein and genistein reached maximum concentrations of 20.9 +/- 4.4 and 11.4 +/- 3.1 mu mol/L, respectively, 10 min after administration, whereas in the fed group, the maxima were 2.4 +/- 0.8 mu mol/L for daidzein after 2 h and 1.8 +/- 0.2 mu mol/L for genistein after 4 h. In both groups, there were significantly more daidzein sulfates than genistein sulfates. Moreover, depriving rats of food before daidzein and genistein administration significantly increased plasma isoflavone sulfates with simultaneous significant decreases in plasma isoflavone glucuronides compared with fed rats. Additionally, nonconjugated daidzein and genistein appeared in plasma of food-deprived rats for 1 h after administration. Plasma concentrations of conjugates having both sulfate and glucuronide moieties were not significantly different between the groups.
