Biochemical / Physiological Actions
The soy isoflavone daidzein protects against oxidative damage to liver cells induced by 7,12-dimethylbenzaanthracene (DMBA). Catalase and superoxide dismutase activity, down-regulated by DMBA, was restored by daidzein.
Daidzein is a phytoestrogen that is suggested to play a role in the prevention of hormone-induced cancers. Stops the cell cycle at G1 in Swiss 3T3 cells.
