Objective: To investigate the effect of soybean isoflavone on blood lipid and the expression of LDLR mRNA in ovariectomied rats.
Methods: Forty eight Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into four groups: Sham group (sham), OVX group (OVX), OVX + gemifibrozil (G) group (OVX + G) and OVX + isoflavone (ISO) group (OVX_ISO). in which the rats were treated with G or ISO for three months starting from two weeks after both sides of rat' s ovarietomy. Blood sample were taken out for determination of blood lipid. The liver tissue were taken out quickly, Isothiocyanate guanidine-phenol-chloroform was used to extract the total RNA from the liver and RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of LDLR mRNA.
Results: Compared with the OVX group, contents of TG, LDL-C and OX-LDL in serum in OVX + ISO group decreased remarkably, and the contents of HDL-C increased. LDLR mRNA in OVX + ISO group increased distinctively compared with OVX group and OVX + G group.
Conclusion: The level of mRNA of LDLR in liver decreas after ovariotormy and the soybean isoflavone may increase it by regulating the expression level of LDLR through transcription.

A 60-day feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the combined effect of dietary soy phytoestrogens, specifically genistein and daidzein, on the gonadal recrudescence and maturation of male Cyprinus carpio (Linnaeus, 1758). Adult male C. carpio (60 ± 10 g) were fed with a diet with no added genistein or daidzein (C), 110 mg/100 mg genistein (GL), 210 mg/100 g genistein (GH), 4 mg/100 g daidzein (DL), 8 mg/100 g daidzein (DH), combination of 110 mg/100 mg genistein and 4 mg/100 g daidzein (DGL, equivalent to 17.

Soybean (Glycine max) is a leguminous crop cultivated worldwide that accumulates high levels of isoflavones. Although previous research has often focused on increasing the soybean isoflavone content because of the estrogen-like activity of dietary soy in humans, the rapidly increasing demand for soybean as a plant-based meat substitute has raised concerns about excessive isoflavone intake. Therefore, the production of isoflavone-free soybean has been anticipated.

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent a primary global health challenge. Poor dietary choices and lifestyle factors significantly increase the risk of developing CVD. Legumes, recognized as functional foods, contain various bioactive components such as active peptides, protease inhibitors, saponins, isoflavones, lectins, phytates, and tannins.

Inhibiting pathogen chemotaxis is a promising strategy for reducing disease pressure. However, this strategy is currently in the proof-of-concept stage. Here, was used as a model, as its biflagellated zoospores could sense genistein, a soybean root exudate, to navigate host and initiate infection.
