Abstract

High soy diets reduce injury in rat models of focal cerebral ischemia and are proposed as alternatives to hormone replacement therapy for postmenopausal women. The present study tests the hypothesis that the major soy isoflavone genistein and the daidzein metabolite equol are neuroprotective in transient focal cerebral ischemia in male and ovariectomized (OVX) female rats by inhibiting oxidative stress. Genistein is the primary circulating soy isoflavone in humans, whereas equol is the primary circulating isoflavone in rats. Male and OVX female Sprague-Dawley rats were fed an isoflavone-reduced diet alone or supplemented with genistein (500 ppm) or equol (250 ppm) for 2 wk prior to 90-min transient middle cerebral artery occlusion followed by reperfusion under isoflurane anesthesia. Indices of oxidative stress were determined 24 h after reperfusion, and cerebral injury was evaluated 3 days after reperfusion. Genistein and equol significantly reduced infarct size in both sexes. Further studies in OVX female rats revealed that this neuroprotection was accompanied by a decrease in NAD(P)H oxidase activity and superoxide levels in the brain. In addition, equol reduced plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substances, and neurological...Continue Reading
