Randomized Controlled Trial
Effect of soy isoflavone protein and soy lecithin on endothelial function in healthy postmenopausal women.
To assess the effects of soy isoflavone protein concentrate and soy lecithin on endothelial function, measured as flow-mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery in healthy postmenopausal women. ⋯ In this sample of healthy postmenopausal women, soy isoflavone protein and soy lecithin significantly improved the lipid profile. A favorable influence on endothelial function could not be confirmed.
