Abstract: BACKGROUND Equol, an isoflavone (ISF)-derived metabolite by the gut microbiome in certain individuals termed as equol-producers, might be the key anti-atherogenic component of ISFs. Our objective was to determine the association between equol-producing status and… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Equol, a metabolite of the dietary isoflavone daidzein, is produced by the action of gut bacteria in some individuals who are termed as equol-producers. It is proposed to have stronger atheroprotective properties than dietary… read more here.

Abstract: Equol, which is produced by enteric bacteria from soybean isoflavones, has a chemical structure similar to estrogen. Both in vivo and in vitro studies have shown the beneficial metabolic effects of equol. However, its effects on type 2… read more here.

Abstract: Among the isoflavones and isoflavone-derived metabolites, equol, which in the human gut is synthesised from daidzein by minority bacterial populations, shows the strongest estrogenic and antioxidant activity. The beneficial effects on human health of isoflavone… read more here.
