“With low concentrations of genistein and daidzein we observed a stimulation of the production of hCG and a weak inhibition of proliferation in both cell lines BeWo and Jeg3.”
“rIL-6- and rsIL-6R-induced hCG production was significantly blocked by anti-IL-6R antibody, PM1; antisignal transducing glycoprotein 130 (gp130) antibody, GPX7; or a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, genistein.”

“Nonetheless, genistein did suppress the ex vivo steroidogenic response of Leydig cells to hCG or dibutyryl cAMP by down-regulating their expression of P450 scc.”
