New research: Soy germ isoflavones reduce bone loss
A new study published in this month's European Journal of Nutrition demonstrates a strong correlation between reducing bone loss in non-obese postmenopausal women and the dose-dependent effect of soy germ isoflavones, particularly SoyLife®. These findings support previous scientific findings regarding soy isoflavones for post-menopausal women. According to the authors of the study, "Osteop...Studies force new view on biology of flavonoids
Flavonoids, a group of compounds found in fruits and vegetables that had been thought to be nutritionally important for their antioxidant activity, actually have little or no value in that role, according to an analysis by scientists in the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University. However, these same compounds may indeed benefit human health, but for reasons that are quite diffe...Protein 295 ex from HORIBA Jobin Yvon
Description:HORIBA Jobin Yvons Protein 295 ex can measure three fluorescence lifetimespicoseconds to secondsfrom a protein sample in only a few minutes. To match the absorption maxima of the amino acids tyrosine and tryptophan, the Protein 295 exs excitation source is the powerful NanoLED-17, a pulsed diode emitting 295 nm. Fluorescence of tryptophan is widely used as a probe of protein structure and dynamic...TCSPC Confocal Microscope from HORIBA Jobin Yvon
Description:Time-resolved microscopy is the ultimate tool for investigating dynamic events in cells and subcellular structures. Its applications previously have been limited at wavelengths longer than 370 nm because microscope optics do not transmit in the deep UV. HORIBA Jobin Yvon, the leader in fluorescence spectroscopy, introduces a filter-based confocal system (the DynaMic) to measure fluorescence lifet...Structural Determination of Flavonoids Using MSn
Jack Cunniff, Philip Tiller, Michael Harvey, and Adrian Land, Thermo Finnigan The data presented here can be acquired using the Thermo Finnigan LCQ Series of ion trap mass spectrometers....Purification of Recombinant Flavonone 3beta-Hydroxylase Using Bio-Scale CHT5-1 Hydroxyapatite Column
Flavanone 3b-hydroxylase (FHT), a typical 2-oxoglutaratedependent dioxygenase, catalyzes the 3b-hydroxylation of 2S-flavanones to 2R,3R-dihydroflavonols which are intermediates in the biosynthesis of flavanoids, catechins, proanthocyanidins, and anthocyanidins in plants. To understand the complex reaction mechanism,...Quantitation of a Dinitro Flavonoid (DNF) in Rat Plasma Using the Varian 1200L LC/MS/MS System
Schmidt, Varian, Inc., Walnut Creek, CA Flavonoids are compounds that make up the pigments in fruits, vegetables, and herbs. There have been reports of flavonoids having multiple beneficial therapeutic effects for a large number...Foods Rich In Flavonoids Effective In Prevention Of Cough
A new study shows a diet high in fiber from fruit and soy foods may reduce the incidence of chronic respiratory symptoms -- especially cough with phlegm.// Researchers studied more than 570 patients who experienced cough with phlegm and more than 44,000 patients without the respiratory problem. Participants were given a food frequency questionnaire to determine if certain foods were ass...Brain Function can be impaired by Flavonols
Based on findings of a recent study researchers say Cocoa flavonols, shown// to benefit heart health, may also have an impact on the brain. Cocoa flavonols were found to increase blood flow to key areas of the brain. In a study on 16 healthy young women, researcher tested the brain’s activation during cognitive tasks using functional MRI. The participants were asked to consume a flavon...Yet Another Use For Cocoa Flavonols
Cocoa compounds have various uses , it can be marketed as functional food ingredients, or even synthesized for use in pharmaceuticals.// Researchers now say they have been able to identify the molecular structure of flavonols found in nature and now have an impressive library of different flavonols. They also say that they are able to synthesize not only those found in nature but also...Prostate tumour growth suppressed by flavonoids
Flavonoids have been regarded as nutritionally good compounds. Lot of research is being done in this direction.// Apigenin, a flavonoid found in herbs, fruits, and vegetables, slowed the growth of prostate cancer in mice, according to a new study. Previous studies already found flavonoids (found in fruits and vegetables) had a potential to protect against a number of cancers.<br...Postmenopausal Women May Benefit From Isoflavones Therapy
Phytoestrogens, estrogen-like compounds, have been found to enhance mental sharpness and mood among postmenopausal women, a new study has found//. This finding highlights that the plant derivatives can be used in the treatment of hormonal imbalances occurring during menopause. Older women who were given phytoestrogen tablets, in the form of 60mg isoflavones had superior cognitive perf...Bivona® Fome-Cuf® Wire Reinforced Endotracheal Tube Kits
