66 patients of 40-77 age group with atherosclerosis were studied. The observation period made up 4 weeks. The patients were divided into two groups. Group I- experimental group (50 patients) and group II-control group (16 patients) The patients of both groups were given standard therapy, but the patients of group I were additionally given 200mg soybean flavonoid supplement (daily dose 100mg. in capsules two times a day after meals). Clinical observation showed that the patients had no adverse reactions due to intake of the natural food supplement. Compared to the control patients better dynamics of clinical signs was observed in experimental group: reduction of chest pain intensity, arrhythmia and breathlessness, increase of tolerance to physical load, manifested of normalisation arterial hypertension and reduction of heart rate. Biochemical analysis showed an antiatherogenic and hypolipidemic effect of the soybean flavonoid supplement. Statistically reliable increase of NO; reduction of general peripherial vascular resistance and improvement of systolic function. Therefore it can be concluded that given biologically active supplement can be used in the treatment of atherosclerosis as an effective therapeutic tool.

Breast cancer treatment has advanced significantly, particularly for estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) tumors. Tamoxifen, an estrogen antagonist, is widely used; however, approximately 40% of patients develop resistance. Recent studies indicate that microRNAs, especially miR-155, play a critical role in this resistance.

Soy extract waste, okara, is a rich source of bioactive compounds such as isoflavones, which are phytoestrogens with potential health benefits. To develop a green approach to recovering these compounds and valorizing okara, a study was developed to screen variables for the extraction of isoflavones from okara and soybean (for comparison) using Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) composed with choline chloride ([Ch]Cl) and acetic acid (AA) ([Ch]Cl: AA, 1:2). A fractional design (2) was used to evaluate variables in the extraction of isoflavones, followed by a Central Composite Rotatable Design (CCRD).

Ensuring food security is one of the main challenges related to a growing global population under climate change conditions. The increasing soil salinity levels, drought, heatwaves, and late chilling severely threaten crops and often co-occur in field conditions. This work aims to provide deeper insight into the impact of single vs.

Soybean has outstanding nutritional and medicinal value because of its abundant protein, oil, and flavonoid contents. This crop has rich seed coat colors, such as yellow, green, black, brown, and red, as well as bicolor variants. However, there are limited reports on the synthesis of flavonoids in the soybean seed coats of different colors.
