Chemical Information
FooDB NameGenistein
DescriptionGenistein is a phenolic compound belonging to the isoflavonoid group. Isoflavonoids are found mainly in soybean. Genistein and daidzein (an other isoflavonoid) represent the major phytochemicals found in this plant. Health benefits (e.g. reduced risk for certain cancers and diseases of old age) associated to soya products consumption have been observed in East Asian populations and several epidemiological studies. This association has been linked to the action of isoflavonoids. With a chemical structure similar to the hormone 17-b-estradiol, soy isoflavones are able to interact with the estrogen receptor. They also possess numerous biological activities. (PMID: 15540649). Genistein is a biomarker for the consumption of soy beans and other soy products.

MetabolismAfter deglycosylation and absorption through the small intestine, the aglycone genistein is carried via the blood to the liver where it is converted into an inactive b-glucuronide. The proportion of aglycone found in blood decreases with time owing to further conjugation: most of the absorbed genistein is found conjugated in plasma. The active form (genistein aglycone) is released by cellular glucuronidases to exerts its biological activities. (PMID: 15540649; 17516857)
