Possible Interaction: Antioxidants and Daidzein

“ Daidzein itself did not display radical scavenging activity but it significantly increased the activity of the antioxidant enzyme catalase.”

“For self-reported cases compared to controls, statistically significant inverse associations were observed for antioxidant index (p < 0.05) and daidzein (p < 0.05).ConclusionOur results support inverse associations of glioma with higher dietary antioxidant index and with higher intake of certain phytoestrogens, especially daidzein.”

“Conclusions: Daidzein attenuates CP-induced oxidative stress on blood cells and antioxidants in rats.”

“In animals treated with 50 mg/kg of daidzein , a significant increase in the specific activities of the antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione transferase (GST), DT-diaphorase (DTD), and in GSH content were observed in both liver and mammary gland.”

“These results indicated that DAI promoted proliferation of cultured ovarian germ cells by estrogenic action and attenuated ROS-induced toxicity by antioxidant action in embryonic chickens.”

“The bioactive compounds, genistein and daidzein , had high inhibitory activities on antioxidant , anti-inflammatory, α-glucosidase and aldose reductase.”
