Descripción

General description

A non-steroidal phytoestrogenic isoflavone found in soy-based food products. Has been shown to interact with human estrogen receptor with relatively low potency. Induces mammary gland proliferation in mice. Inhibits lecithin peroxidation induced by hydroxyl radicals. Also acts as a selective inhibitor of γ-isoform of alcohol dehydrogenase.
