Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed 609 honey samples from Serbia, focusing on differences in their physicochemical properties based on botanical origin, region, and harvest year.
- Most parameters like glucose, fructose, sucrose, acidity, and electrical conductivity showed significant variation, while diastase activity, moisture, and insoluble matter remained consistent.
- A small percentage of samples (14.1%) were noted as potentially adulterated, indicating that many honey samples met quality standards, providing valuable insights into honey characteristics and quality assessments.
The Role of Isoflavones in the Prevention of Breast Cancer and Prostate Cancer.
Antioxidants (Basel)
February 2023
This narrative review summarizes epidemiological studies on breast cancer and prostate cancer with an overview of their global incidence distribution to investigate the relationship between these diseases and diet. The biological properties, mechanisms of action, and available data supporting the potential role of isoflavones in the prevention of breast cancer and prostate cancer are discussed. Studies evaluating the effects of isoflavones in tissue cultures of normal and malignant breast and prostate cells, as well as the current body of research regarding the effects of isoflavones attained through multiple modifications of cellular molecular signaling pathways and control of oxidative stress, are summarized.
