BACKGROUND Lipid abnormalities, particularly high serum concentration of lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)], are one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. The present study was designed to investigate the effects of soy consumption on serum lipids and apoproteins, especially Lp(a), in PD patients. ♢ METHODS This study was a randomized clinical tr...

Flour blends produced from pearl millet, green gram, and tigernut pomace were evaluated for their chemical composition pasting characteristics. Sixteen runs (flour blends) generated using optimal mixture design of response surface methodology used the determination functional properties. Four thereafter chosen evaluation proximate composition, antioxidant, The properties flour had significant (...

to find out whether or not soy milk as a phytoestrogen product can improve the quality of life of the iranian postmenopausal women.participants of this randomized clinical trial were 57 healthy postmenopausal women. all eligible women were randomly divided into two groups of soy milk (sg) and control (cg). individuals in the sg (n = 34) received 500 ml soy milk including genistein (28.86 mg/dl)...

Amino acid mixtures corresponding to either casein or egg yolk protein when fed to rabits ina low fat, cholesterol-free semipurified diet, produced the same degree of hypercholesterolemia as the proteins themselves. Amino acid mixtures corresponding to soy protein isolate or sunflower protein gave low plasma cholesterol levels, but not as low as those obtained with the intact proteins. Experime...

the effects of probiotics and antibiotics and fat type in diet on broiler performance were studied by using 900 one-day old ross 308 chicks in a three × three factorial arrangement with three types of fat (nonfat, three percent fatty acid and three percent soy oil) and three growth promoters (without gp, flavomycin and protexin) in completely randomized design with four replicates per each trea...

This study was aimed to find the formulation of composite flours from rice, cassava, and soybean flours, potato starch, and hydrocolloids, and also to find the egg replacer formulation from whey and soybean protein isolate. The composite flours and egg replacer then were used as wheat flour and egg alternatives in cake production, and some physicochemical and functional properties of the treate...

Soy protein isolate and egg white were added to cassava-banana gluten-free pasta the effects on nutritional quality, digestibility properties, corrected amino acid (PDCAA), sensory acceptance of was observed. Banana-cassava composite flour (75:25) blended with soy or at following rates: 0, 5, 10, 15 g/100 g flour. Cooked samples analysed for total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity, p...

Recent studies suggest that inclusion of soy product in the diet may have favorable effects on relief of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and risk factors. These effects might be associated with the presence of specific polymorphism in gene. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of consumption of soy flour fortified bread on cardiovascular risk factors in overweight and obese women acc...
